Detailed Solution

The easiest way is to “fill” the hole, and then subtract the contribution of the hole. 

The area of the full disc is πR2. 

The area of the hole is πR24. 

The area of the disc with the hole is 3πR24. 

Thus by filling the hole, one increases the mass by a factor: 

πR23πR2/4=43. 

The moment of inertia of a full disc with a mass of 43m around the z-axis is derived from the parallel axis theorem, by: Iƒull=12.43mR2+43m(R2)2=mR2.......(i)

Similarly, the mass of the small disc which fills the hole is given by: 

m1=πmR243πR24=13m.....(ii),

 Its moment of inertia around the axis is 

Ihole=12.13m(R2)2=124mR2 ​......(iii)

Thus, we obtain: 

 Itotal=IƒullIhole=2324mR2 ​......(iv)
