  1. A \(\frac{M L^{2}}{6}\)
  2. B \(\frac{M L^{2}}{12}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7 M L^{2}}{24}\)
  4. D \(\frac{7 M L^{2}}{48}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{7 M L^{2}}{48}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{M L^{2}}{12}+M\left[\frac{L}{4}\right]^{2} \\=\frac{M L^{2}}{12}+\frac{M L^{2}}{16}=\frac{7 M L^{2}}{48}
\end{array}\)
