$A$ circular disc is to be made by using iron and aluminium,so that it acquires maximum moment of inertia about its geometrical axis. This is possible with:

The moment of inertia of a cylinder of mass $M$,length $L$,and radius $R$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder is $I = M \left(\frac{R^2}{4} + \frac{L^2}{12}\right)$. If such a cylinder is to be made for a given mass of material,the ratio $L/R$ for it to have the minimum possible $I$ is

Three thin rods,each of mass $2M$ and length $L$,are placed along the $x, y,$ and $z$ axes,which are mutually perpendicular. One end of each rod is at the origin. The moment of inertia of the system about the $x$-axis is:

The moments of inertia of a non-uniform circular disc (of mass $M$ and radius $R$) about four mutually perpendicular tangents $AB, BC, CD, DA$ are $I_1, I_2, I_3$ and $I_4$,respectively (the square $ABCD$ circumscribes the circle). The distance of the centre of mass of the disc from its geometrical centre is given by
