A thin rod of length 4l and mass 4m is bent at the points as shown in figure. What is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis passing through point O and perpendicular to the plane of the paper?

a
Ml23
b
10Ml23
c
Ml212
d
MI224

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Total MI=I1+I2+I3+I4=2I1+2I2=2I1+I2Ii=I3; I1=I4Now,I2=I3=Ml23----(1)Using parallel axis theorem, we haveI=ICM+Mx2 and x=l2+l22I1=I4=Ml212+Ml2+l222=4Ml23----(2)Putting all values of (1) & (2)  in MI=I1+I2+I3+I4, we get I=10Ml23
