Detailed Solution

Inside a hollow metal sphere E=0 and V=KQR0

So, (A) is true,

No work is done in moving a charge from one point to other on equipotential
surface as ΔV=0 on equipotential
surface. So W = q
ΔV=0

So, (B) is true.

When two like charges are brought closer, then external agent do the work against the mutual repulsion. So potential energy of system increases. 

So, (C) is true.
