$A$ solid sphere and a solid cylinder have the same mass and same radius. The ratio of the moment of inertia of the solid sphere about its diameter and the moment of inertia of the solid cylinder about its axis is

$A$ non-uniform rod $OM$ (of length $l$) is kept along the $x$-axis and is rotating about an axis $AB$,which is perpendicular to the rod as shown in the figure. The rod has a linear mass density that varies with the distance $r$ from the left end $O$ of the rod according to $\lambda = \lambda_0 \left( \frac{r^3}{l^3} \right)$,where $\lambda_0$ is a constant. If the axis $AB$ is at a distance $x$ from the end $O$,what is the value of $x$ such that the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis $AB$ $(I_{AB})$ is minimum?
