Detailed Solution

We know that the gravitational field in aside a shell is zero but for points outside it, the shell behaves as if whole of its mass is concentrated at its centre. When a point lies in between the shells r1<r<r2, there will be field due to inner shell only. The gravitational field is given by
F=GM1/r2
The gravitational field due to outer shell will be zero because the point lies within the shell
