The moments of inertia of a non-uniform circular disc (of mass $M$ and radius $R$) about four mutually perpendicular tangents $AB, BC, CD, DA$ are $I_1, I_2, I_3$ and $I_4$,respectively (the square $ABCD$ circumscribes the circle). The distance of the centre of mass of the disc from its geometrical centre is given by

Two iron solid discs of negligible thickness have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ and moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$,respectively. For $R_2 = 2 R_1$,the ratio of $I_1$ and $I_2$ would be $1 / x$,where $x = $ . . . . . . .

Let $l$ be the moment of inertia of a uniform square plate about an axis $AB$ that passes through its centre and is parallel to two of its sides. $CD$ is a line in the plane of the plate that passes through the centre of the plate and makes an angle $\theta$ with $AB$. The moment of inertia of the plate about the axis $CD$ is then equal to:

Three bodies have equal masses $m$. Body $A$ is a solid cylinder of radius $R$,body $B$ is a square lamina of side $R$,and body $C$ is a solid sphere of radius $R$. Which body has the smallest moment of inertia about an axis passing through their centre of mass and perpendicular to the plane (in case of lamina)?
