The moment of inertia of a disc, of mass $M$ and radius $R$, about an axis which is a tangent and parallel to its diameter is
  1. $\frac{1}{2} M R^2$
  2. $\frac{3}{4} M R^2$
  3. $\frac{1}{4} M R^2$
  4. $\frac{5}{4} M R^2$

Solution

The moment of inertia of a disc about axis which is a tangent and parallel to its diameter is $\frac{5}{4} M R^2$
