As the mass is uniformly distributed on the disc, so mass density (per unit area) =9M/πR2
Mass of removed portion=9πR2×R32=M
So, the moment of inertia of the removed portion about the stated axis by theorem of parallel axis is I1=M2R32+M2R32      ....(i)
If the disc would not have been removed, then the moment of inertia of complete disc about the stated axis isI2=9MR22    .....(ii)
So, the moment of inertia of the disc shown is I2I1,i,e,I2I1=4MR2
