Let $M$ and $L$ be the mass and length of a thin uniform rod,respectively. In the $1^{\text{st}}$ case,the axis of rotation passes through the center and is perpendicular to its length. In the $2^{\text{nd}}$ case,the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to its length. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is:

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $1: 4$
  • C
    $2: 1$
  • D
    $1: \sqrt{3}$
