As charge in spherical cavity $+Q$, the charge induced on inner surface of spherical shell will be $-Q$ and accordingly the charge induced on outer surface will be $+Q$.
Surface charge density on inner surface of spherical shell. $\sigma_{1}=\frac{-Q}{4 \pi R_{1}^{2}}$ and surface charge density on outer surface of spherical shell $\sigma_{2}=\frac{+Q}{4 \pi R_{2}^{2}}$.
