Solution

The correct option is D Zero
Given:
Charge, q=1μC=106 C.

Equation of spherical shell,
x2+y2+z2=25
that means, centre of spherical shell is origin and radius, R=5 m.

Radius of imaginary sphere, r=3 m


Here, R>r

As there is no charge inside the imaginary sphere, i.e. q=0.

So, electric flux ϕ through imaginary sphere is given by

ϕ=qϵ0=0

So, option (d) is correct.
