EDIT: Looks like I have got the right answer. Equating the above expression for $\frac{\sigma d \epsilon}{2 \epsilon_0}$ and plugging in the values of d and R, I get the right answer which is 21.215.

Thanks a lot for the help everyone!

Very good!

Try also the method I outlined in #30. Just for fun :)

That's the method I used to solve the problem. Are you talking about #29?

No it was #30. Approximating the field far away as that of two points charges.
