The moment of inertia of a uniform thin rod of mass $m$ and length $\ell$ about a perpendicular axis passing through one end is $I_{1}$. The same rod is bent into a ring and its moment of inertia about a diameter is $I_{2}$. If $\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{x \pi^{2}}{3}$,then the value of $x$ will be ...............
