$A$ 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 :

$A$ uniform solid cylinder of length $L$ and radius $R$ has a moment of inertia about its axis equal to $I_1$. $A$ small co-centric cylinder of length $L/2$ and radius $R/3$ is carved from this cylinder. The moment of inertia of this small carved cylinder about the same axis is $I_2$. The ratio $I_1/I_2$ is . . . . . . .

The adjoining figure shows a disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ lying in the $X-Y$ plane with its centre on the $X$-axis at a distance $a$ from the origin. Then the moment of inertia of the disc about the $X$-axis is
