$A$ solid sphere of radius $R_1$ and volume charge density $\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{r}$ is enclosed by a hollow sphere of radius $R_2$ with negative surface charge density $\sigma$, such that the total charge in the system is zero. $\rho_0$ is a positive constant and $r$ is the distance from the centre of the sphere. The ratio $R_2/R_1$ is

  • A
    $\frac{\sigma}{\rho_0}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{2\sigma}{\rho_0}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\rho_0}{2\sigma}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho_0}{\sigma}$
