Solution

If charges are given to a conducting sphere, then the charges go to the Outer surface. This is because conductors allow charges to move freely. When a charge is placed on a conductor, it distributes itself on the surface of the conductor to minimize the repulsive forces between the charges. This is known as the principle of charge distribution. Therefore, the charges will move to the outer surface of the conducting sphere.
