Three identical metal plates with large surface areas are kept parallel to each other as shown in the figure. The leftmost plate $A$ is given a charge $Q$ and the rightmost plate $C$ is given a charge $-2Q$. The middle plate $B$ is neutral. Then the charge appearing on the outer surface $S$ of the plate $C$ is:
