Two insulated charged conducting spheres of radii $20\,cm$ and $15\,cm$ respectively and having an equal charge of $10\,C$ are connected by a copper wire and then they are separated. Then

Shown in the figure are two point charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ inside the cavity of a spherical shell. The charges are kept near the surface of the cavity on opposite sides of the centre of the shell. If $\sigma_1$ is the surface charge density on the inner surface and $Q_1$ is the net charge on it,and $\sigma_2$ is the surface charge density on the outer surface and $Q_2$ is the net charge on it,then:
