Detailed Solution

As the mass is uniformly distributed on the disc, so mass density (per unit area)
Mass of removed portion
So, the moment of inertia of the removed portion about the stated axis by theorem of parallel axis is ....(i)
If the disc would not have been removed, then the moment of inertia of complete disc about the stated axis is .....(ii)
So, the moment of inertia of the disc shown is
