A boy is standing on a disc rotating about the vertical axis passing through its centre. He pulls his arms towards himself, reducing his moment of inertia by a factor of m. The new angular speed of the disc becomes double its initial value. If the moment of inertia of the boy is I0 , then the moment of inertia of the disc will be:

1.  2I0m

2.  I01-2m

3.  I01-1m

4.  I02m
