Problem

An infinitely long solid cylinder of radius RR has a uniform volume charge density ρ\rho. It has a spherical cavity of radius R/2R/2 with its centre on the axis of the cylinder, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the electric field at the point PP, which is at a distance 2R2R from the axis of the cylinder, is given by the expression 23ρR16kε0\frac{23\rho R}{16k\varepsilon_0}. The value of kk is
