Answer

$+13.0\times 10^{-6}~C$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the charge on the cavity wall is $-3.0\times 10^{-6}~C$ The net charge on the conductor is $+10\times 10^{-6}~C$ We can find the charge $Q$ on the outer surface: $(-3.0\times 10^{-6}~C)+Q = +10\times 10^{-6}~C$ $Q = +13.0\times 10^{-6}~C$
