Answer

The charge on the inner surface of the shell is $~~+4~\mu C$

Work Step by Step

The charge on the outer surface is $-14~\mu C$ The net charge on the shell is $-10~\mu C$ We can find $q$, the charge on the inner surface of the shell: $q+(-14~\mu C) = -10~\mu C$ $q = -10~\mu C+14~\mu C$ $q = +4~\mu C$ The charge on the inner surface of the shell is $~~+4~\mu C$
