Answer:

E   = α/2∈₀ [ 1 - a²/r² ]

Ф = α/2∈₀

Explanation:

Using Gauss Law:

    ρ(r) = a/r, dA

          = 4 π r²d r

    Ф = \int\limits^r_a ρ(r')dA

    Ф_{encl} = \int\limits^r_a ρ(r')dA

             = 4πα \int\limits^r_a r'dr'

Ф_{encl}     = 4 π α 1/2(r²-a²)

E(4πr²) = 2\pi\alpha  (r^{2}-a^{2}  )/∈₀

           = 2\pi\alpha  (r^{2}-a^{2}  )/∈₀(4πr²)

           = α (r² - a²) / 2 ∈₀ (r²)

           = α/2∈₀ [ r²/r² - a²/r² ]

      E   = α/2∈₀ [ 1 - a²/r² ]

Electric field of the point charge:

E_{q} = q / 4π∈₀r²

E_{total} = α / 2 ∈₀ - (α / 2 ∈₀ )(a² / r²) + q / 4 π ∈₀ r²

For E_{total}  to be constant:

- (αa²/ 2 ∈₀ ) + q / 4 π ∈₀ = 0 and q = 2παa²

-> α / 2 ∈₀ - αa²/ 2 ∈₀ + 2παa² / 4 π ∈₀

= α - αa² + αa² / 2 ∈₀

= α /2 ∈₀

Hence:

Ф = α/2∈₀
