$A$ positive point charge of $10^{-8} \ C$ is kept at a distance of $20 \ cm$ from the center of a neutral conducting sphere of radius $10 \ cm$. The sphere is then grounded and the charge on the sphere is measured. The grounding is then removed and subsequently the point charge is moved by a distance of $10 \ cm$ further away from the center of the sphere along the radial direction. Taking $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2 / C^2$ (where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space),which of the following statements is/are correct:
$(A)$ Before the grounding,the electrostatic potential of the sphere is $450 \ V$.
$(B)$ Charge flowing from the sphere to the ground because of grounding is $5 \times 10^{-9} \ C$.
$(C)$ After the grounding is removed,the charge on the sphere is $-5 \times 10^{-9} \ C$.
$(D)$ The final electrostatic potential of the sphere is $300 \ V$.
