The moment of inertia of a square loop made of four uniform solid cylinders,each having radius $R$ and length $L$ $(R < L)$,about an axis passing through the midpoints of opposite sides,is (Take the mass of the entire loop as $M$):

  • A
    $ \frac{3}{8}MR^{2}+\frac{7}{12}ML^{2} $
  • B
    $ \frac{3}{4}MR^{2}+\frac{1}{6}ML^{2} $
  • C
    $ \frac{3}{4}MR^{2}+\frac{7}{12}ML^{2} $
  • D
    $ \frac{3}{8}MR^{2}+\frac{1}{6}ML^{2} $

$I_1$ is the moment of inertia of a circular disc about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of the disc. $I_2$ is its moment of inertia about an axis $AB$ perpendicular to the plane and parallel to the axis $CM$ at a distance $\frac{2R}{3}$ from the centre. The ratio of $I_2$ to $I_1$ is $\frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{x}{9}$. The value of $x$ is ($R =$ radius of the disc).
