  • A
    twice that near the smaller sphere
  • B
    quarter of that near the smaller sphere
  • C
    same as that near the smaller sphere
  • D
    half of that near smaller sphere

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:
