The figure shows a uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ lying along the $x$-axis with one end at the origin $O$. The locus of all points $(x, y)$ in the $xy$-plane,about which the moment of inertia of the rod is the same as that about $O$,is:

  • A
    an ellipse
  • B
    a circle
  • C
    a parabola
  • D
    a straight line

Two circular loops $P$ and $Q$ of radii $r$ and $nr$ are made respectively from a uniform wire. The moment of inertia of loop $Q$ about its axis is $4$ times that of loop $P$ about its axis. The value of $n$ is:

Two identical thin rods of mass $M \ kg$ and length $L \ m$ are connected as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the combined rod system about an axis passing through point $P$ and perpendicular to the plane of the rods is $\frac{x}{12} M L^2 \ kg \ m^2$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .

From a uniform wire,two circular loops are made: $(i)\ P$ of radius $r$ and $(ii)\ Q$ of radius $nr$. If the moment of inertia of $Q$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane is $8$ times that of $P$ about a similar axis,the value of $n$ is (diameter of the wire is very much smaller than $r$ or $nr$).
