Two discs of same mass and same thickness $(t)$ are made from two different materials of densities $d_1$ and $d_2$ respectively. The ratio of the moment of inertia $I_1$ to $I_2$ of the two discs about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the disc is:

  • A
    $d_1 : d_2$
  • B
    $d_2 : d_1$
  • C
    $1 : d_1 d_2$
  • D
    $1 : d_1^2 d_2$
