An equilateral triangle $ABC$ formed from a uniform wire has two small identical beads initially located at $A$. The triangle is set rotating about the vertical axis $AO$. Then the beads are released from rest simultaneously and allowed to slide down,one along $AB$ and the other along $AC$ as shown. Neglecting frictional effects,the quantities that are conserved as the beads slide down,are

$A$ horizontal disc of moment of inertia $4.25 \,kg \cdot m^2$ with respect to its axis of symmetry is spinning counter-clockwise at $15 \,rps$ about its axis,as viewed from above. $A$ second disc of moment of inertia $1.80 \,kg \cdot m^2$ with respect to its axis of symmetry is spinning clockwise at $25 \,rps$ as viewed from above about the same axis and is dropped on top of the first disc. The two discs stick together and rotate as one about their axis of symmetry. The new angular velocity of the system as viewed from above is close to
