Solution

Since the spherical symmetry is maintained, we can consider a spherical gaussian surface (r'>R) passing through the point P where electric field is to be found.
Then as per gauss law,
EdA=Net charge enclosedϵ0
But for above case E will be uniform and angle between E and dA will be equal to 0,
So,E×4πr2=R0Ar24πr2dr which gives
E=AR5r2
