Without cavity: The potential at A and electric field at C due to the whole solid sphere are given by
VA'=32×(14πε0)(4/3)πR3ρR=ρR22ε0
EC'=ρ3ε0AC
The potential at A and electric field at C due to cavity alone are given by 
VA"=(14πε0)(4/3)π(R/2)3ρ(R/2)=ρR212ε0
Net potential VA=VA'VA''=ρR22oρR2120=5ρR2120
x=12 E¯C=E¯C'+E¯C'' =ρ30[ACBC]=ρ30(AB)=ρ30(R2)=ρR60 y=6 xy=126=2 EC"=ρ3ε0BC
