Detailed Solution

As the mass is uniformly distributed on the disc,

so mass density (per unit area) =9MπR2. Mass of removed portion = 9MππR2×R32=M

So the moment of inertia of the removed portion about the stated axis by theorem of parallel axis is: I1=M2R32+M2R32=MR22

The moment of inertia of the original complete disc about the stated axis is I2 then

I2=9MR22

So the moment of inertia of the left over disc shown in figure is I2-I1.

i.e., I2-I1=4MR2.
