As we learnt in 

Coulombic force -

F\propto Q_{1}Q_{2}=F\propto \frac{Q_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}=F=\frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

- wherein

K - proportionality Constant 

Q1 and Q2 are two Point charge

 

 Charges are q_{1} = \frac{2}{5}\mu C        and \: \: \: \: \ q_{2} = \frac{3}{5}\mu C

F = \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} = \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{3}{5}\times 10^{-12}}{1} = \frac{54}{25}\times 10^{-3}N

     = 2.16 \times 10^{-3}\ N = 0.00216\ N
