The force exerted between S and p is 1/16 the force exerted between S and q.
The force between two charge particle is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the particles.
The force exert between S and q is given as
Fsq=[tex] \frac{Q'}Q}{1^{2} [/tex] Eq. (1)
The force exert between S and p is given as
Fsp=[tex] \frac{Q'}Q}{4^{2} Eq. (2)
On comparing eq. (1) and (2)
Fsp=[tex] \frac{Fsq}{16} [/tex]
