Two rings have their masses in ratio $1 : 2$ and their diameters are in the ratio $2 : 1$. The ratio of their moments of inertia is

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:

The moment of inertia of a circular ring of radius $r$ and mass $M$ about its diameter is:
