Detailed Solution

For r=5R6,uptoR3,ρ=ρ0, between R3and3R4,

ρ=ρ02 and between 3R4 and 5R6, ρ=ρ08

 The mass of the sphere of radius 5R/6 is

m=43π(R3)3ρ0+[43π(3R4)343π(R3)3]ρ0/2

+[43π(5R6)343π(3R4)3]ρ0/8

=0.332πR3ρ0

 Gravitational field at a distance, r=5R6 is

Eg=Gm(5R/6)2

=G×0.332πR3ρ025R2×36

=0.48πGRρ0
