Detailed Solution

Potential at the centre of a hemispherical shell  =kQR
Lets divide the hemisphere into thin hemispherical shells. Lets take a hemispherical shell of radius r and thicnkness  dr.
Potential at its centre =kdqr 
 dV=k(ρ2π2dr)r        dV=ρ2ε0abrdr       V=ρ2ε0[r22]ab     =ρ4ε0(b2b24)=3ρb216ε0
