A solid metallic sphere has a charge $ + \,3Q$. Concentric with this sphere is a conducting spherical shell having charge $ - Q$. The radius of the sphere is $a$ and that of the spherical shell is $b(b > a)$. What is the electric field at a distance $R(a < R < b)$ from the centre

  • A

    $\frac{Q}{{2\pi {\varepsilon _0}R}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{3Q}}{{2\pi {\varepsilon _0}R}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{3Q}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{4Q}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$
