a

These systems do not have spherical symmetry .Hence Gauss’s law cannot be valid

b

The charge configuration of these systems do not pass adequate symmetry. Hence, Gauss’s law is valid, but it not practically useful .             

c

Systems do not have cylindrical symmetry .Hence Gauss’s law cannot valid
