The densities of two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ of the same radii $R$ vary with radial distance $r$ as $\rho_A(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)$ and $\rho_B(r) = k \left(\frac{r}{R}\right)^5$,respectively,where $k$ is a constant. The moments of inertia of the individual spheres about axes passing through their centres are $I_A$ and $I_B$,respectively. If $\frac{I_B}{I_A} = \frac{n}{10}$,the value of $n$ is

The moment of inertia depends on:

$A$ uniform square plate $S$ (side $c$) and a uniform rectangular plate $R$ (sides $b, a$) have identical areas and masses. Show that:
$(i) \frac{I_{xR}}{I_{xS}} < 1$
$(ii) \frac{I_{yR}}{I_{yS}} > 1$
$(iii) \frac{I_{zR}}{I_{zS}} > 1$

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:
