Two equal negative charges of charge – q are fixed at the points (0, a) and (0, –a) on the Y-axis. A positive charge Q is released from rest at the point (2a, 0) on the X-axis. The charge Q will:

1.	execute simple harmonic motion about the origin.
2.	move to the origin and remain at rest.
3.	move to infinity.
4.	execute oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion.
