Answer: The correct answer is 16 ohms.

Explanation:

The mathematical expression from Ohm's law is as follows;

V=IR

Here, I is the current, V is the potential and R is the resistance.

It is given in the problem that the potential in the circuit is 240 V and the current is 15 A.

Calculate the resistance by rearranging the above expression.

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

Put I= 15 A and V= 240 V.

$R=\frac{240}{15}$

R= 16 ohms

Therefore, the value of the resistance is 16 ohms.

In other words a infinitesimal segment dV caries the charge
dQ = ρ dV 

Let dV be a spherical shell between between r and (r + dr): 
dV = (4π/3)·( (r + dr)² - r³ ) 
= (4π/3)·( r³ + 3·r²·dr + 3·r·(dr)² + /dr)³ - r³ ) 
= (4π/3)·( 3·r²·dr + 3·r·(dr)² + /dr)³ ) 
drop higher order terms 
= 4·π·r²·dr 

To get total charge integrate over the whole volume of your object, i.e. 
from ri to ra: 
Q = ∫ dQ = ∫ ρ dV 
= ∫ri→ra { (b/r)·4·π·r² } dr 
= ∫ri→ra { 4·π·b·r } dr 
= 2·π·b·( ra² - ri² ) 

With given parameters: 
Q = 2·π · 3µC/m²·( (6cm)² - (4cm)² ) 
= 2·π · 3×10⁻⁶C/m²·( (6×10⁻²m)² - (4×10⁻²m)² ) 
= 3.77×10⁻⁸C 
= 37.7nC
