Two similar conducting balls having charges $+q$ and $-q$ are placed at a separation $d$ from each other in air. The radius of each ball is $r$ and the separation between their centres is $d$ $(d \gg r)$. Calculate the capacitance of the two-ball system.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential. One of them is hollow and another is solid,and both have the same radii. The solid sphere will have a lower charge than the hollow one.
Reason $R:$ Capacitance of metallic spheres depends on the radii of the spheres.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
