$A$ light rod of length $l$ has two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ attached to its two ends. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the centre of mass is

  • A
    $(m_1+m_2)l^2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{m_1 m_2} l^2$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1 + m_2} l^2$
  • D
    $\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 m_2} l^2$
