Let there be a spherically symmetric charge distribution with charge density varying as $\rho (r) = \rho _0 \left( \frac{5}{4} - \frac{r}{R} \right)$ for $r \le R$,and $\rho (r) = 0$ for $r > R$,where $r$ is the distance from the origin. The electric field at a distance $r (r < R)$ from the origin is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{\rho _0 r}{3 \varepsilon _0} \left( \frac{5}{4} - \frac{r}{R} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{4 \pi \rho _0 r}{3 \varepsilon _0} \left( \frac{5}{3} - \frac{r}{R} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{\rho _0 r}{4 \varepsilon _0} \left( \frac{5}{3} - \frac{r}{R} \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{4 \pi \rho _0 r}{3 \varepsilon _0} \left( \frac{5}{4} - \frac{r}{R} \right)$

Consider a solid insulating sphere of radius $R$ with charge density varying as $\rho = \rho_0 r^2$,where $\rho_0$ is a constant and $r$ is measured from the centre. Consider two points $A$ and $B$ at distances $x$ and $y$ respectively $(x < R, y > R)$ from the centre. If the magnitudes of the electric fields at points $A$ and $B$ are equal,then:
