Detailed Solution

Surface charge density $(σ) = \frac{C h a r g e}{S u r f a c e a r e a}$

Due to the sphere the shell will have a charge of $- 2 Q$ on the inner surface of the shell, As the total charge on the shell is $- Q$ , there will be a charge of $+ Q$ on the outer surface of the shell

So, $σ_{inner} = - \frac{2 Q}{4 {πb}^{2}}$

and $σ_{Outer} = \frac{Q}{4 {πc}^{2}}$
