Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{{137}}{{15}}M{R^2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{array}{l}
l = 2\left[ {\frac{2}{5}M{R^2} + M4{R^2}} \right] + M\frac{{4{R^2}}}{{12}}\\
\,\,\, = M{R^2}\left[ {\frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5} + 8} \right] = \frac{{137}}{{15}}M{R^2}
\end{array}\)
l = 2\left[ {\frac{2}{5}M{R^2} + M4{R^2}} \right] + M\frac{{4{R^2}}}{{12}}\\
\,\,\, = M{R^2}\left[ {\frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5} + 8} \right] = \frac{{137}}{{15}}M{R^2}
\end{array}\)
