Electric field at any point on the axis at a distance x from the center of the ring is
$\text{E}=\frac{\text{xQ}}{4\pi\in_0\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$
$=\frac{\text{KxQ}}{\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$
Differentiating with respect to x
$\frac{\text{dE}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{KQ}\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)-\text{KxQ}\big(\frac{3}{2}\big)\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^{\frac{11}{2}}2\text{x}}{\big(\text{r}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^3}$
Since at a distance x, Electric field is maximum.
$\frac{\text{dE}}{\text{dx}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{KQ}\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^{\frac{3}{2}}-\text{Kx}^2\text{Q}^3\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{KQ}\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^{\frac{3}{2}}=\text{Kx}^2\text{Q}3\big(\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}^2+\text{x}^2=3\text{x}^2$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}^2=\text{R}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2=\frac{\text{R}^2}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{R}}{\sqrt{2}}$
