Three small charged spheres X, Y and Z carrying charges + q, – q and + q respectively are placed equidistant from each other, as shown in the figure. The spheres Y and Z are held in place. Initially X is also held in place, but is otherwise free to move. When X is released, the path followed by it will be :
