An electric field line pattern for two point charges, $q_1\,$ and $q_2$ , is shown in the diagram below.

Electric field lines around two point charges q1 and q2

Which of the following statements correctly identifies the signs and relative magnitudes of the two charges?

$q_1$ is positive, $q_2$ is negative, and $q_1| = 3|q_2|$

$q_1$ is negative, $q_2$ is positive, and $q_1| = 3|q_2|$

$q_1$ is positive, $q_2$ is negative, and $3|q_1| = |q_2|$

$q_1$ is negative, $q_2$ is positive, and $3|q_1| = |q_2|$
