A spherical shell is cut into two pieces along a chord as shown in the figure. P is a point on the plane of the chord. The gravitational field at P due to the upper part is I1 and that due to the lower part is I2. What is the relation between them? 

a
I1> I2
b
I1< I2
c
I1= I2
d
no definite

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For a uniform spherical shell the field intensity at any inside point is zero. So I1+I2=0
