Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{13 \mathrm{MR}^{2}}{32}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{I}_{\text {T otal disc }}=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^{2}}{2}\)
As mass is proportional to area, \(\mathrm{M}_{\text {Removed }}=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{4}\)
Now, about the same perpendicular axis:
\(I_{\text {Removed }}=\frac{M}{4} \frac{(R / 2)^{2}}{2}+\frac{M}{4}\left(\frac{R}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{3 \mathrm{MR}^{2}}{32}\)
\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{I}_{\text {Remaining Disc }}=\mathrm{I}_{\text {Total }}-\mathrm{I}_{\text {Removed }}\)
\(=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^{2}}{2}-\frac{3 \mathrm{MR}^{2}}{32}\)
\(=\frac{13 \mathrm{MR}^{2}}{32}\)
