The ratio of the radius of gyration of a ring to that of a disc (both circular) of the same radius and mass,about a tangential axis perpendicular to the plane is

$A$ thin disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ has mass per unit area $\sigma (r) = kr^2$,where $r$ is the distance from its centre. Its moment of inertia about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to its plane is

Let $M$ be the mass and $L$ be the length of a thin uniform rod. In the first case,the axis of rotation passes through the center and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. In the second case,the axis of rotation passes through one end and is perpendicular to the length of the rod. The ratio of the radius of gyration in the first case to the second case is

Match the following columns ($R=$ radius,$k=$ radius of gyration):
Column $I$Column $II$
$(A)$ 'k' for a solid sphere rotating about its tangent$(P)$ $\sqrt{2}R$
$(B)$ 'k' for a ring rotating about its tangent perpendicular to its plane$(Q)$ $\frac{R}{2}$
$(C)$ 'k' for a uniform solid right circular cone rotating about its central axis$(R)$ $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{5}}R$
$(D)$ 'k' for a uniform disc rotating about its diameter$(S)$ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{10}}R$

Two discs having moment of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ are made from the same material and have the same mass. Their thicknesses and radii are $t_1, t_2$ and $R_1, R_2$ respectively. The relation between the moment of inertia of each disc about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane and its thickness is:
