Questions  

If two discs have same mass and thickness but their densities are ρ1 and  ρ2 then the ratio of their moments of inertia about central axis will be [BCECE (Mains) 2012]

a
1 : ρ1ρ2
b
ρ1ρ2 : 1
c
ρ1 : ρ2
d
ρ2 : ρ1

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Moment of inertia of disc,   I=12MR2=12MMπρt∵ρ=MV=MπR2t,∴R2=MπρtI=12M2πρt∴ I∝1ρ    (As, M and t are constants)∵ I1I2=ρ2ρ1
