A light rod of length \(l\) has two masses, \(m_1\) and \(m_2,\) attached to its two ends. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the centre of mass is:
1. \(\frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}l^2\)
2. \(\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_1m_2}l^2\)
3. \((m_1+m_2)l^2\)
4. \(\sqrt{(m_1m_2)}l^2\)

In the three figures, each wire has a mass M, radius R and a uniform mass distribution. If they form part of a circle of radius R, then about an axis perpendicular to the plane and passing through the centre (shown by crosses), their moment of inertia is in the order:

 

1.  IA > IB >  IC

2.  IA = IB = IC

3.  IA < IB < IC

4.  IA < IC < IB
