Problem

A positive point charge of 10⁻⁸ C is kept at a distance of 20 cm from the center of a neutral conducting sphere of radius 10 cm. The sphere is then grounded and the charge on the sphere is measured. The grounding is then removed and subsequently the point charge is moved by a distance of 10 cm further away from the center of the sphere along the radial direction. Taking 1/(4πε₀) = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² (where ε₀ is the permittivity of free space), which of the following statements is/are correct:
