Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I _{1}= I _{3}=\frac{ MR ^{2}}{4}\)

\(I _{2}=\frac{ MR ^{2}}{4}+ MR ^{2}=\frac{5}{4} MR ^{2}= I _{4}\)

So \(I = I _{1}+ I _{2}+ I _{3}+ I _{4}\)

\(=\frac{ MR ^{2}}{2}+\frac{5}{2} MR ^{2}\)

\(=3 MR ^{2}, \text { Putting } R =\frac{ a }{2}\)

\(I =\frac{3 Ma ^{2}}{4}, \text { So } x =3\)
