							You cannot perform scalar addition of two electric field vectors. You have to do vector sum of the vectors andthen find its magnitude.Electric field at A due to charge q at B is along side AB and away from it and that at A due to carge – 2q ta Cis along side AC and towards it.Their magnitudes are Kq / a2 and 2Kq / a2 assuming q to be a positive charge.Electric field due to point charge q can be resolved as (Kq / a2)cos30$\dpi{80} \degree$ j + (Kq / a2)sin30$\dpi{80} \degree$ i                                                                          = (Kq / 2a2) i + ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / 2a2) j.Electric field due to point charge – 2q can be resolved as – (2Kq / a2)cos30$\dpi{80} \degree$ j + (2Kq / a2)sin30$\dpi{80} \degree$ i                                                                         = (Kq / a2) i  –  ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / a2) j.Their resultant is (Kq / 2a2) i + ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / 2a2) j + (Kq / a2) i  –  ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / a2) j                        =  (3Kq / 2a2) i  –  ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / 2a2) j  =  ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / 2a2)($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$ i – j)Magnitude of resultant  =  ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / 2a2)$\dpi{80} \sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2 + (-1)^2}$   =   ($\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / 2a2) . 2                                      =  $\dpi{80} \sqrt{3}$Kq / a2 .

							Steps and Understanding :1) We will find Electric Potential by writing V = K(q) / d where q is charge contained in ring. d - distance of charge from point .k = 1/4π£° where £° is permitivity in vacuum. 2) We will find Electric Field by E = -dV/dx
