Hey,
It is given that
Force in air that is Fa=5000N
Force in medium that is Fm=2000N
we know that
The electric force between point charges in the presence of medium is given by
Fm=Fa/e where e is the dielectric constant.
thus dielectric constant of the medium e=Fa/Fm
e=5000/2000=
which is the required answer.
I hope this helps.
All the best!
