$A$ spherically symmetric charge distribution is considered with charge density varying as
$\rho(r)=\begin{cases} \rho_{0}\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{r}{R}\right) & \text{for } r \leq R \\ 0 & \text{for } r>R \end{cases}$
Where,$r (r < R)$ is the distance from the centre $O$ (as shown in figure). The electric field at point $P$ will be.

  • A
    $\frac{\rho_{0} r}{4 \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{r}{R}\right)$
  • B
    $\frac{\rho_{0} r}{3 \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{r}{R}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{\rho_{0} r}{4 \varepsilon_{0}}\left(1-\frac{r}{R}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho_{0} r}{5 \varepsilon_{0}}\left(1-\frac{r}{R}\right)$
