  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{4}\)
  2. B 4 I
  3. C \(\frac{I}{2}\)
  4. D 2 I
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I = MR^2_{center,\perp} + MR^2 = MR^2 + MR^2 = 2MR^2\) \(MR^2_{center,\perp} = 2I_{diameter} \implies MR^2 = 2I_{diameter}\) \(I_{diameter} = \frac{MR^2}{2} = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{I}{2}\right) = \frac{I}{4}\)
