$A$ lamina is made by removing a small disc of diameter $2R$ from a bigger disc of uniform mass density and radius $2R$,as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of this lamina about axes passing through $O$ and $P$ is $I_0$ and $I_P$,respectively. Both these axes are perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. The ratio $\frac{I_P}{I_0}$ to the nearest integer is:
