$A$ disc is rotating with an angular speed of $\omega$. If a child sits on it,which of the following is conserved?

The angular velocity of a body changes from $\omega_1$ to $\omega_2$ without the application of any external torque,but this change occurs due to a change in its moment of inertia. The ratio of the radii of gyration in the two cases will be:

$A$ thin circular ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane with angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to the plane. If another ring of the same size but mass $\frac{M}{4}$ is placed coaxially on the first ring,then the new angular velocity of the system is:
