The ratio of the radius of gyration of a solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about its own axis to the radius of gyration of a thin hollow sphere of the same mass and radius about its axis is:

$Assertion$ : 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.

What is the moment of inertia of a cylinder of diameter $D$ and length $L$ about an axis passing through its center of gravity and perpendicular to its length?

Consider the following statements:
Assertion $(A)$: The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value as compared to any other parallel axis when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of mass.
Reason $(R)$: The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of mass in a uniform gravitational field.
Of these statements:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z$-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and $I_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason $R$: $A$ rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
