Four thin metal rods,each of mass $M$ and length $L$,are welded end to end to form a square. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the centre of the square and perpendicular to its plane is

Suppose there is a uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $r$ shown in the figure. Two shaded circular regions, each of radius $r/4$, are cut out from the disc. The centers of these cut-out discs are at a distance of $3r/4$ from the center of the original disc. The moment of inertia of the remaining part about the axis $A$ (passing through the center of the disc and perpendicular to its plane) is given by $\frac{x}{256} Mr^2$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
