a)True.Gravitational field inside any hollow mass=0.
b)True.As E=0.
c)false.From a.
d)false.Gravitational Potential will be equal to that on the surface(which is not 0).
Ans:C),D)

Since, the charge distribution is non uniform , you cannot say for sure that E is zero inside the shell (If it uniform then even you can't. You can just add that E is zero at center), rather you would say the Flux of Electric field is zero.
hence B is True.
Also, there must exist some point(We don't about it) where the E should be zero.

The gravitational field(due to the shell) inside(anywhere) inside a symmetric shell=0.
This is not valid for non-symetric objects.
Taking an example,we can consider almost total mass concentrated at a pt. and the ∂m mass forming rest of shell.Here E=0 everywhere.
This difference(from conductors) is shown because of the fact that mass unlike elec. cant move.This is also responsible for the fact that gravitation shielding doesn't exist.

Oops. I thought that E = Electric field. My answer was presumably for that only.
I would go with C,D then.

On Physics forums, they say A,C,D only.
