a

Surface charge density on the inner surface of the shell is zero everywhere

b

Surface charge density on the inner surface is uniform and equal to (Q/2)4πa2

c

Electric field outside the shell is the same as that of a point charge Q placed at the centre of the shell

d

Surface charge density on the outer surface depends on p

answer is C.

Detailed Solution

As the electric dipole creates non-uniform electric field inside the conductor, there will be a non-uniform charge induced on the inner surface.

As the dipole possesses both positive and negative charges. The net charge inside the shell is zero.  So the induced charge on the outer surface=0

So no field will be created outside the shell due to electric dipole.  Electric field will be created only by charge Q that it carries. Thus electric field outside the shell
