we have studied that Electric field at a point on the axis of dipole is given by:-

\vec{E}_{net}=\frac{2 K \vec{P}}{r^{3}}=\frac{2 \vec{P}}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} r^{3}}

and Electric field at a point on the equitorial line is given by:-

\vec{E}_{net}=\frac{ -K \vec{P}}{r^{3}}=\frac{ -\vec{P}}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} r^{3}}

The given point is at axis of  \frac{\vec{P}}{2}dipole and at equatorial line of  \vec{P} dipole so total field at given point is.

 

\vec{E}=\frac{k\vec{P}}{(1)^{3}}+\frac{2k\left (\vec{P} /2 \right )}{(2)^{3}}=k\vec{P}\left ( -1+\frac{1}{8} \right )=\frac{-7\vec{P}}{32 \pi \epsilon _{0}}
