Three-point charges \(+q\), \(-2q\) and \(+q\) are placed at points \((x=0,y=a,z=0)\)\((x=0, y=0,z=0)\) and \((x=a, y=0, z=0)\), respectively. The magnitude and direction of the electric dipole moment vector of this charge assembly are:

1. \(\sqrt{2}qa\) along \(+y\) direction
2. \(\sqrt{2}qa\) along the line joining points \((x=0,y=0,z=0)\) and \((x=a,y=a,z=0)\)
3. \(qa\) along the line joining points \((x=0,y=0,z=0)\) and \((x=a,y=a,z=0)\)
4. \(\sqrt{2}qa\) along \(+x\) direction
