$(a)$ If the charge $q$ is placed at $\mathrm{C}$, the centre of a face of the cube, it is being shared equally by 2 cubes.

$\therefore$ Flux through each cube,

$\phi=\frac{\phi^{\prime}}{\epsilon_{0}}=\frac{q}{2 \epsilon_{0}}$

$(b)$ Finally, if charge $q$ is placed at $\mathrm{D}$, the midpoint of $\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$, it is being shared equally by 2 cubes. $\therefore$ Flux through each cube,

$\phi=\frac{\phi^{\prime}}{\epsilon_{0}}=\frac{q}{2 \epsilon_{0}}$

A circular disc of radius $R$ carries surface charge density $\sigma(r)=\sigma_0\left(1-\frac{r}{R}\right)$, where $\sigma_0$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance from the center of the disc. Electric flux through a large spherical surface that encloses the charged disc completely is $\phi_0$. Electric flux through another spherical surface of radius $\frac{R}{4}$ and concentric with the disc is $\phi$. Then the ratio $\frac{\phi_0}{\phi}$ is. . . . . .
