As we  have learned

Spherical Capacitor -

It consist of two concentric spheres of radii a and b (a<b) inner sphere charge +Q while outer sphere is earthed.

- wherein

 

 CAPACITANCE OF THE GIVEN ASSEMBLY 

C= 4\pi\varepsilon _0\frac{R_1R_2}{R_2-R_1}\Rightarrow C\propto \frac{R_1R_2}{R_2-R_1}

 


Option 1)

\frac{R_2-R_1}{R_1R_2}

Option 2)

\frac{R_2+R_1}{R_1R_2}

Option 3)

\frac{R_1R_2}{R_2+R_1}

Option 4)

\frac{R_1R_2}{R_2-R_1}
