A uniformly charged solid sphere of radius $R$ has potential $V_0$ (measured with respect to $\infty$) on its surface. For this sphere the equipotential surfaces with potentials $\frac{{3{V_0}}}{2},\;\frac{{5{V_0}}}{4},\;\frac{{3{V_0}}}{4}$ and $\frac{{{V_0}}}{4}$ have rasius $R_1,R_2,R_3$ and $R_4$ respectively. Then
