The correct answer is:
$\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R}$ and zero
Inside a hollow charged sphere, the electric field intensity is always zero.
$\therefore$ $E=0$ but potential is constant.
Potential on the surtace of the hollow sphere
$$
V=\frac{K Q}{R}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{Q}{R}=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R}
$$
This is the potential $(\mathrm{V})$ inside the charged hollow meta sphere.
$\therefore$ $E=0$ but potential is constant.
