Two spheres each of mass $M$ and radius $\frac{R}{2}$ are connected at the ends of a massless rod of length $2R$. What will be the moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the centre of one of the spheres and perpendicular to the rod?

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3} MR^2$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{2} MR^2$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{21} MR^2$
  • D
    $\frac{21}{5} MR^2$

$M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius of a disc. $A$ small disc of radius $R/3$ is removed from the bigger disc as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of the remaining part of the bigger disc about an axis $\text{AB}$ passing through the centre $O$ and perpendicular to the plane of the disc is $\frac{4}{x} MR^2$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
