Detailed Solution
Let the charge on the inner shell be q'.The total potential will be zero.So, kq'r1+kqr2=0 (∵r2>r1) ⇒ q'=-Kq/r2K/r1⇒q'=-r1r2q
Consider two concentric spherical metal shells of radii r1and r2(r2 > r1). If the outer shell has a charge q and the inner one is grounded, the charge on the inner shell is :
