Answer #1

Solution) No you cannot induce a charge on an insulator .

Here for an insulator it is possible to cause some charge separation by bringing a charged object near but this is just a distortion of charge configuration not a true migration of charge to back side when it is connected to ground the minor separation does not provide a large enough force to allow distorted charge to move off or on the insulator

Therefore from above insulator cannot be charged by induction .
