$A$ solid spherical ball of density $\rho_{1}$ and a hollow spherical ball of density $\rho_{2}$ have the same outer radius $R$ and the same mass $M$. What is the ratio of the moment of inertia of the hollow sphere to that of the solid sphere about an axis passing through their centers?

$Assertion$ : Radius of gyration of a body is a constant quantity.
$Reason$ : The radius of gyration of a body about an axis of rotation may be defined as the root mean square distance of the particles from the axis of rotation.
