Correct answer: C

  1. Use Gauss's law

    The electric flux through any closed surface is given by Φ=Qenclosedε0.\Phi = \frac{Q_{\text{enclosed}}}{\varepsilon_0}.Φ=ε0​Qenclosed​​.

  2. Flux through cube C1C_1C1​

    From the figure/text, the inner cube C1C_1C1​ encloses charge 2Q2Q2Q. Hence, Φ1=2Qε0.\Phi_1 = \frac{2Q}{\varepsilon_0}.Φ1​=ε0​2Q​.

  3. Flux through cube C2C_2C2​

    The outer cube C2C_2C2​ encloses both charges, since it is concentric and larger. So total enclosed charge by C2C_2C2​ is 2Q+3Q=5Q.2Q + 3Q = 5Q.2Q+3Q=5Q. Therefore, Φ2=5Qε0.\Phi_2 = \frac{5Q}{\varepsilon_0}.Φ2​=ε0​5Q​.

  4. Find the ratio

    Φ1:Φ2=2Qε0:5Qε0=2:5.\Phi_1 : \Phi_2 = \frac{2Q}{\varepsilon_0} : \frac{5Q}{\varepsilon_0} = 2:5.Φ1​:Φ2​=ε0​2Q​:ε0​5Q​=2:5.

  5. Match with options

    2:52:52:5 corresponds to Option C.

  6. Compare with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = C.

    This matches our derived answer.
