The radii of the inner and outer spheres of a spherical capacitor are $8 \ cm$ and $9 \ cm$ respectively. The outer sphere is earthed and the inner sphere is charged. If the space between the concentric spheres is filled with a liquid of dielectric constant $5$,the capacitance of the capacitor is:

  • A
    $400 \ pF$
  • B
    $40 \ pF$
  • C
    $400 \ \mu F$
  • D
    $40 \ \mu F$
