because of charge $Q$ at center there will be induced $charge-Q$ at inner surface of sphere.

hence charge density $\frac{2 Q}{4 \pi r^{2}}=\frac{Q}{2 \pi r^{2}}$

because of $2 Q$ charge outside the electric field is double that of inside.

At any point inside $S$, the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from $C$
