Four identical point masses (each of mass $m$) are placed on the circumference of a disc. The disc has mass $M$ and radius $R$. What will be the moment of inertia about an axis passing through the center $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the disc?

  • A
    $MR^2 + 4mR^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}MR^2 + 4mR^2$
  • C
    $MR^2 + \frac{8}{5}mR^2$
  • D
    None of these

From a uniform wire,two circular loops are made: $(i)\ P$ of radius $r$ and $(ii)\ Q$ of radius $nr$. If the moment of inertia of $Q$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane is $8$ times that of $P$ about a similar axis,the value of $n$ is (diameter of the wire is very much smaller than $r$ or $nr$).
