Three point masses $m_1, m_2, m_3$ are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side length $a$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis along the altitude of the triangle passing through $m_1$ is:

The radius of gyration of a uniform thin rod of length $L$ about an axis passing normally through its centre of mass is:

$Assertion$ : Moment of inertia depends on the axis of rotation and the nature of distribution of the mass of the body.
$Reason$ : Moment of inertia is the rotational inertia of the body.
