The moment of inertia of a sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about an axis passing through its centre is $\frac{2}{5} M R^2$. The radius of gyration of the sphere about a parallel axis to the above and tangent to the sphere is

$A$ non-uniform rod $OM$ (of length $l$) is kept along the $x$-axis and is rotating about an axis $AB$,which is perpendicular to the rod as shown in the figure. The rod has a linear mass density that varies with the distance $r$ from the left end $O$ of the rod according to $\lambda = \lambda_0 \left( \frac{r^3}{l^3} \right)$,where $\lambda_0$ is a constant. If the axis $AB$ is at a distance $x$ from the end $O$,what is the value of $x$ such that the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis $AB$ $(I_{AB})$ is minimum?
