Detailed Solution

Induced charges on surface produce zero potential at centre
Vnet =Vpoint charge =14πε0qr=9×109×1×1064×102=2.25×105V
Net field at the center of sphere is zero, so field produced by induced charge is equal to field produced by point charge but in opposite direction 
Req. field=14πε0qr2
=9×109×1×1064×1022=5.625×106NC1
