$k (\frac{Q_{1} + Q_{2}}{r})$

$k (\frac{Q_{2}}{r} + \frac{Q_{1}}{R_{1}})$

$k (\frac{Q_{1}}{r} + \frac{Q_{2}}{R_{2}})$

$k (\frac{Q_{1}}{R_{1}} + \frac{Q_{2}}{R_{2}})$

Detailed Solution

The potential due to the large sphere will be given by $V_{1} = \frac{1}{4 {πϵ}_{0}} \frac{Q_{1}}{R_{1}}$

V₂due to smaller sphere, $V_{2} = \frac{1}{4 {πϵ}_{0}} \frac{Q_{2}}{r}$

$V = V_{1} + V_{2} = \frac{1}{4 π \in_{0}} (\frac{Q_{2}}{r} + \frac{Q_{1}}{R_{1}}) = K (\frac{Q_{2}}{r} + \frac{Q_{1}}{R_{1}})$
