Two point charges $+8 \mu C$ and $+12 \mu C$ repel each other with a force of $48 \ N$. When an additional charge of $-10 \mu C$ is given to each of these charges (the distance between the charges is unaltered),then the new force is:

  • A
    repulsive force of $24 \ N$
  • B
    attractive force of $24 \ N$
  • C
    repulsive force of $12 \ N$
  • D
    attractive force of $2 \ N$
