Detailed Solution
The electric field intensity E and electric potential V are related as E=-dVdrElectric field intensity E = 0 suggest that dVdr=0This imply that V = constant.Thus, E = 0 inside the charged conducting spherecauses the same electrostatic potential 100 V at anypoint inside the sphere.
