Two concentric shells of masses M_(1) and M_(2) are having radii r_(1) and r_(2) . Which of the following is the correct expression for the gravitational field at a distance r ?

Assertion : Two spherical shells have masses m_(1) and m_(2) . Their radii are r_(1) and r_(2) . Let r be the distance of a point from centre. Then gravitational field strength and gravitational potential both are equal to zero for O lt r lt r_(1) Reason : In the region r_(1) lt r lt r_(2) , gravitational field strength due to m_(2) is zero. But gravitational potential due to m_(2) is constant (but non-zero).
