Second derivative... Do differentiation on dV/dr to get the second derivative, you will get -4(pi)r...

Oh ok. To find whether isit more than 0, u juz sub any value to r right. Or must be a specific value?

Must sub the r wanted, not any value.
I did not sub in this case because since the r wanted is positive r (radius cannot be negative), -4(pi)r is definitely negative since pi is a positive constant.
You may sub the r and show the second derivative is less than zero, else must state the statement.
