$A$ solid sphere and a disc of same mass $M$ and radius $R$ are kept such that their curved surfaces are in contact and their centers lie along the same horizontal line. The moment of inertia of the two-body system about an axis passing through their point of contact and perpendicular to the plane of the disc is

Seven identical coins are rigidly arranged on a flat table in the pattern shown below,so that each coin touches its neighbours. Each coin is a thin disc of mass $m$ and radius $r$. Note that the moment of inertia of an individual coin about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of the coin is $\frac{m r^2}{2}$. The moment of inertia of the system of seven coins about an axis that passes through the point $P$ (the centre of the coin positioned directly to the right of the central coin) and perpendicular to the plane of the coins is ..........$m r^2$.
