detailed solution

Correct option is D

For a small mass dm, distance from the center of sphere is 2a. force along ‘dm’  G,M,dm4a2=FComponent of force F sin   get cancelled net force 2Fcos θ . For the entire ring- GM4a2m2×2cosθGMm4a23a2a=3GMm8a2Alternative solution:-field intensity due the ring at the centre of the sphere is g=GMx(R2+x2)32=GMa(a2+3a2)32=3GM8a2 F=mg=3GMm8a2
