The moment of inertia of sphere is 20 kg-m2 about the diameter. The moment of inertia about any tangent will be-
 

a
70kg−m2
b
35kg−m235kg−m2
c
50kg−m2
d
20kg−m2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

According to the theorem of parallel axes, the haveI=IG+Ma2=25MR2+MR2(∵a=R)=75MR2  Given that 25MR2=20 or MR 2=20×52=50,  ∴I=75×50=70kg−m2
