Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2 r$. A point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r / 2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2 r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be
