The diagram shows the arrangement of three small uniformly charged spheres A, B and C. The arrows indicate the direction of the electrostatic forces acting between the spheres(for example, the left arrow on sphere A indicates the electrostatic force on sphere A due to sphere B). At least two of the spheres are positively charged. Which sphere, if any, could be negatively charged?

The figure, shown below, shows three situations involving a charged particle and a uniformly charged spherical shell. The charges and radii of the shells are indicated in the figure. If F1, F2 and F3 are the magnitudes of the forces on the particle due to the presence of the shell in situations (I), (II) and (III) respectively then
