Here the thing you have to do is calculata the net force on each of the three chargesand equate them to zero,since the system is in equilibrium.
You will get three equations which you have to solve.
Instead of this lengthy method, it is easier to remember it as a formula.
The answer is Q_{1}Q_{2}/(\sqrt{Q_{1}+}\sqrt{Q_2})^{2}
