Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{{181}}{2}M{R^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using parallel axes theorem, moment of inertia about \('O'\) 

\(\begin{array}{l}
{I_0} = {I_{cm}} + m{d^2}\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{7M{R^2}}}{2} + 6\left( {M \times {{\left( {2R} \right)}^2}} \right) = \frac{{55M{R^2}}}{2}
\end{array}\)

Again, moment of inertia about point P,\({I_P} = {I_0} + m{d^2}\)

\( = \frac{{55M{R^2}}}{2} + 7M{\left( {3R} \right)^2} = \frac{{181}}{2}M{R^2}\)
