The moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $I$. It is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$. Another identical ring is gently placed on it so that their centres coincide. If both rings are rotating about the same axis, then the loss in kinetic energy is

  • A
    $I\omega^2$
  • B
    $I\omega^2/2$
  • C
    $I\omega^2/4$
  • D
    $I\omega^2/8$
