Solution

The correct option is A I5
According to problem disc is melted and recasted into a solid sphere so their volume will be same.
VDisc=Vsphere
πR2Disct=43πR3Sphere
πR2Disc(RDisc6)=43πR3Sphere [t=RDisc6,given]
R3Disc=8R3Sphere
RSphere=RDisc2
Moment of inertia of disc
IDisc=12MR2Disc=I (given)
M(RDisc)2=2I
Moment of inertia of sphere ISphere=25MR2Sphere
=25M(RDisc2)2=M10(RDisc)2=2I10=I5.
