$A$ thin metal rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is cut into four equal parts by cutting it perpendicular to its length. If the moment of inertia of the rod about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its length is $I$,then the moment of inertia of each part about an axis passing through its own centre and perpendicular to its length is:

If $I_1$ is the moment of inertia of a thin rod of mass $M$ and length $l$ about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through its centre of mass,and $I_2$ is the moment of inertia of the ring formed by bending the rod about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane,then:

$A$ solid sphere $A$ of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is attached at a point to a smaller solid sphere $B$ of radius $r < R$ and mass $m < M$. Assume that the line joining their centres lies along the horizontal. The moment of inertia of the system calculated about a vertical axis passing through the centre of $A$ is $I_A$ and that calculated about a vertical axis passing through the centre of $B$ is $I_B$. The difference $I_A - I_B$ is :
