The correct answer is: 1834
E=ρr3ε0
EA=-ρR23ε0
EA=ρR6ε0
Electric filed at point B=EB=E1A+E2A
E1A= Electric Filed Due to solid sphere of radius R at point B=ρR3ε0
E2A= Electric Filed Due to solid sphere of radius R2 (which having charge density ρ ) at point B
=-KQ'×49R2=-ρR54ε0
EB=E1A+E2A=ρR3ε0-ρR54ε0=17ρR54ε0
EAEB=917
