The moment of inertia of a disc about axis which is a tangent and parallel to its diameter is (5/4) M R2. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/7eb56cc6e3db2296e71fd752a42f36ab-.png" />

Q. The moment of inertia of a disc, of mass $M$ and radius $R$ , about an axis which is a tangent and parallel to its diameter is

$\frac{1}{2} M R^{2}$

$\frac{3}{4} M R^{2}$

$\frac{1}{4} M R^{2}$

$\frac{5}{4} M R^{2}$

The moment of inertia of a disc about axis which is a tangent and parallel to its diameter is $\frac{5}{4} M R^{2}$ .
