If the rod acquires a charge of +1 * 10^(-6) C, then by induction, the cloth acquires -1 * 10^(-6) C. Remember that the rod with positive charges takes in the electrons from the cloth!
I hope this helps!

since both rod and cloth are neutral in the beginning so if the rod acquires a charge of +1x10*-6 coulomb then by conservation of charge cloth will acquire a charge of (-1)x10*-6 coulomb
