How does the moment of inertia depend on the angular momentum?

The mass per unit area of a circular disc of radius $a$ depends on the distance $r$ from its centre as $\sigma(r) = A + Br$. The moment of inertia of the disc about the axis perpendicular to the plane and passing through its centre is

$A$ solid sphere $A$ of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is attached at a point to a smaller solid sphere $B$ of radius $r < R$ and mass $m < M$. Assume that the line joining their centres lies along the horizontal. The moment of inertia of the system calculated about a vertical axis passing through the centre of $A$ is $I_A$ and that calculated about a vertical axis passing through the centre of $B$ is $I_B$. The difference $I_A - I_B$ is :

$A$ quarter of a uniform circular disc of radius $R$ is cut off. The mass of the cut-off part is $M$. It rotates about an axis passing through the center of the original disc and perpendicular to the plane of the disc. What will be its moment of inertia about the axis of rotation?
