Four identical solid spheres each of mass $m$ and radius $a$ are placed with their centres on the four corners of a square of side $b$. The moment of inertia of the system about one side of the square is:

  • A
    $\frac{4}{5} ma^{2} + 2 mb^{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{5} ma^{2} + mb^{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{5} ma^{2} + 2 mb^{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{5} ma^{2}$

From a uniform circular thin disc of mass $9 M$ and radius $R$,a small disc of radius $\frac{R}{3}$ is removed. The centre of the small disc is at a distance $\frac{2 R}{3}$ from the centre of the original disc. The moment of inertia of the remaining disc about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc and passing through the centre of the original disc of radius $R$ is
