Two solid spheres $A$ and $B$ each of radius $R$ are made of materials of densities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$ respectively. Their moments of inertia about a diameter are $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively. The value of $\frac{I_A}{I_B}$ 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

$A$ spherical shell has a mass one-fourth that of a solid sphere,and both have the same moment of inertia $(M.I.)$ about their respective diameters. The ratio of their radii will be:
