Two discs $A$ and $B$ are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia $I$ and $2I$ respectively about the common axis. Disc $A$ is imparted an initial angular velocity $2\omega$ using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance $x_1$. Disc $B$ is imparted an angular velocity $\omega$ by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance $x_2$. Both the discs rotate in the clockwise direction.
$1.$ The ratio of $x_1/x_2$ is
$(A)$ $2$ $(B)$ $1/2$ $(C)$ $\sqrt{2}$ $(D)$ $1/\sqrt{2}$
$2.$ When disc $B$ is brought in contact with disc $A$,they acquire a common angular velocity in time $t$. The average frictional torque on one disc by the other during this period is
$(A)$ $\frac{2I\omega}{3t}$ $(B)$ $\frac{9I\omega}{2t}$ $(C)$ $\frac{9I\omega}{4t}$ $(D)$ $\frac{3I\omega}{2t}$
$3.$ The loss of kinetic energy during the above process is
$(A)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{2}$ $(B)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{3}$ $(C)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{4}$ $(D)$ $\frac{I\omega^2}{6}$

The key feature of Bohr's theory of the spectrum of the hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find the quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule,assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
$1.$ $A$ diatomic molecule has a moment of inertia $I$. By Bohr's quantization condition,its rotational energy in the $n^{\text{th}}$ level $(n=1, 2, 3, \dots)$ is:
$(A) \frac{1}{n^2}\left(\frac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 I}\right)$ $(B) \frac{1}{n}\left(\frac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 I}\right)$ $(C) n\left(\frac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 I}\right)$ $(D) n^2\left(\frac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 I}\right)$

Then the moment of inertia of the $CO$ molecule about its centre of mass is close to (Take $h=2 \pi \times 10^{-34} \text{ Js}$):
$(A) 2.76 \times 10^{-46} \text{ kg m}^2$ $(B) 1.87 \times 10^{-46} \text{ kg m}^2$ $(C) 4.67 \times 10^{-47} \text{ kg m}^2$ $(D) 1.17 \times 10^{-47} \text{ kg m}^2$

$(A) 2.4 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$ $(B) 1.9 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$ $(C) 1.3 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$ $(D) 4.4 \times 10^{-11} \text{ m}$
