The three rods $A$,$B$,and $C$ shown in the figure have the same length $L$ and the same mass $M$. If the system rotates such that rod $B$ acts as the axis of rotation,what will be the moment of inertia of the system?

  • A
    $\frac{M L^2}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3} M L^2$
  • C
    $\frac{M L^2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3} M L^2$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z$-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and $I_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
