$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ and thickness $R/8$ has a moment of inertia $I$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. It is melted and recast into a solid sphere. The moment of inertia of the sphere about an axis passing through its diameter is:

  • A
    $I$
  • B
    $\frac{2I}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{I}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{I}{10}$

The linear mass density of a thin rod $AB$ of length $L$ varies from $A$ to $B$ as $\lambda(x) = \lambda_{0}(1 + \frac{x}{L})$,where $x$ is the distance from $A$. If $M$ is the mass of the rod,then its moment of inertia about an axis passing through $A$ and perpendicular to the rod is $......ML^{2}$.
