  1. A \(\frac{9}{20} \mathrm{MR}^2\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2\)
  3. C \(\frac{9}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2\)
  4. D \(\frac{13}{20} \mathrm{MR}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{13}{20} \mathrm{MR}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using parallel axis theorem:
\(I=\frac{2}{5} M R^2+M\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)^2=\frac{13}{20} M R^2\)
