$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ and thickness $R/8$ has a moment of inertia $I$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. It is melted and recast into a solid sphere. The moment of inertia of the sphere about an axis passing through its diameter is:

  • A
    $I$
  • B
    $\frac{2I}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{I}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{I}{10}$

$A$ thin uniform rectangular plate of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed in the $xy$-plane as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia about the $x$-axis is $I_{x}=0.2 \, kg \cdot m^{2}$ and the moment of inertia about the $y$-axis is $I_{y}=0.3 \, kg \cdot m^{2}$. The radius of gyration of the plate about the axis passing through $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the plate is (in $ \, cm$)

The ratio of radii of gyration of a thin circular ring and a circular disc of same radius about a tangential axis in their own planes is $\sqrt{12}: \sqrt{K}$. The value of $K$ is
