  • A
    $2 m L^2$
  • B
    $\frac{m L^2}{2}$
  • C

The moment of inertia of a rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ about an axis passing through its center and normal to its length is $\alpha$. Now,the rod is cut into two equal parts,and these parts are joined symmetrically to form a cross shape. The moment of inertia of the cross about an axis passing through its center and normal to the plane containing the cross is:
