The path followed by the positively charged sphere x .
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When charges are placed in the electric field of other charges, they experience force. The force is attractive if the charges are opposite & repulsive if the charges are the same.
The attractive force due on x due to y is shown by vector D. The repulsive force on x by z is shown by vector B. the vector sum of the two forces is given by C. Hence the sphere x will follow the path C.
Conclusion:
The sphere x will follow the path C.
