- B2 I
- C3 2 I
- D5 2 I
Correct answer
D. 5 2 I
Step-by-step solution
Moment of inertia of a circular disc about an axis passing through centre of gravity and perpendicular to its plane I= 1 2 M R^2 From Eq. (i) M R^2=2 I Then, moment of inertia of disc about tangent aligned in a plane = 5 4 & M R^2 & = 5 4 (2 I) & = 5 2 I aligned
