sir in the graphs of electric field due to binary charge configuration
why some curves are below x-axis and some
are above x axis

Show one of your graphs; the axes of the graph depend upon the conventions chosen for the coordinate system.
 
i have attached graphs

  • Four graphs of electric field against position for two-charge configurations: graph 1 labelled q and q with E rising toward each charge, graph 2 labelled 4q and -q, graph 3 labelled -q and -q, graph 4 labelled q and -4q.

Those seem to be graphs of E along the line connecting the two charges. Remember E is actually a vector: it has magnitude and direction. At some points, E is to the right (shown as positive on the graph); at other points, E is to the left (shown as negative on the graph).
