Solution

The correct option is C a=R
The electric field at distance r is given by
E=kqrr2
where qr is charge enclosed in radius r and k=14πϵo.
Note that the electric field due to outside charges will get cancelled.
qr is given by
qr=r04πx2ρ(x)dx
now for Er we must have qrr3
thus from the above equation of qr we must have ρ(x) independent of x.
thus the density must be constant throughout r. Or,
ρ(r)=Constant
Hence for the above figure a must be equal to R
a=R
