As initially q is at infinite distance from Q, thus P.Ei=0
For case 1: the closest distance given is r and velocity of q is v initially.
Applying conservation of energy, P.Ei+K.Ei=P.Ef+K.Ef
0+12mv2=KQqr+0
⟹12mv2=KQqr ................(1)
For case 1: Let the closest distance be r' and velocity of q is 2v initially.
Applying conservation of energy, P.Ei+K.Ei=P.Ef+K.Ef
0+12m(2v)2=KQqr′+0
⟹12m(2v)2=KQqr′ ................(2)
Solving (1) and (2), r′=r4
