Three thin rods,each of length $L$ and mass $M$,are placed along the $x, y,$ and $z-$ axes such that one end of each rod is at the origin. The moment of inertia of this system about the $z-$ axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{2ML^2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{4ML^2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{5ML^2}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{ML^2}{3}$

The ratio of radii of gyration of a ring to a disc (both circular) of same radii and mass,about a tangential axis perpendicular to the plane is

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z$-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and $I_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason $R$: $A$ rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.
