A thin spherical conducting shell of radius $R$ has a charge $q$ . Another charge $Q$ is placed at the centre of the shell. The electrostatic potential at a point $P$ at a distance $R/2$ from the centre of the shell is

  • A

    $\frac{{2Q}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{2Q}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}} - \frac{{2q}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{2Q}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}} + \frac{q}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{(q + Q)}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}}\frac{2}{R}$
