and 
having radii 
and 
respectively are situated as shown in
Gravitational field at a point located at 
and P is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Gravitational field at an external point due to spherical shell of mass M is 
while at an
internal point is zero.
(i) Point Q is external to shell 
and 
So, field at Q will be
(ii) Field at P will be
