Detailed Solution

As all the points on the periphery of either ring are at same distance from point P , the potential at point P due to whole ring can be calculated as V=-GM /R2+x2 where x   is axial distance from the centre of the ring. This expression is independent of the fact whether the distribution of mass is uniform or non-uniform.

So, V  at P is V=-GM2R-G×2M5R
