Three thin rods,each of mass $2M$ and length $L$,are placed along the $x, y,$ and $z$ axes,which are mutually perpendicular. One end of each rod is at the origin. The moment of inertia of the system about the $x$-axis is:

  • A
    $\frac{4ML^2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{ML^2}{12}$
  • C
    $\frac{ML^2}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{2ML^2}{3}$

$A$ uniform solid cylinder with radius $R$ and length $L$ has a moment of inertia $I_1$ about its central axis. $A$ concentric solid cylinder of radius $R' = \frac{R}{2}$ and length $L' = \frac{L}{2}$ is carved out of the original cylinder. If $I_2$ is the moment of inertia of the carved-out portion of the cylinder about the same axis,then $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = ..........$
