Solution

The correct option is A 2GM7R(425)

Potential at a distance x on the axis of a ring of radius R and mass M=GMx2+R2
Let us assume a thin ring of width dr at a distance r from the centre.
(dV) due to the ring at P=GMr2+(4R)2
dM=Mπ[(4R)2(3R)2]×2πrdr
=2Mrdr7R2
V due to annular disc at P=4R3RG(2Mr7R2)drr2+16R2
=GM7R24R3R2rr2+16R2dr
=2GM7R2[r2+16R2]4R3R
=2GM7R2[32R25R]
=2GM7R(325)
Work done in taking a unit mass from P to infinity =0 [Potential P]
=0[2GM7R(425)]
=2GM7R[425]
