A point charge q is placed within the cavity of an electrically neutral conducting shell whose outer surface has spherical shape figure. Then:

A
The potential V at point P lying outside the shell at a distance r from the centre O of the outer surface depends upon the value of x.
B
Potential at P does not depend upon the value of x.
C
A total charge q will be induced on the outer surface of the shell which will be distributed uniformly on the outer surface.
D
A total charge –q will be induced on the inner surface of the shell, which will be distributed non-uniformly on the inner surface
