Solution

The correct option is C ωMM+2m
Mass of circular ring =M
Radius of circular ring =r
Angular velocity =ω
Mass of each object =m


Initial angular velocity =ω
Initial angular momentum Li=Iω=Mr2ω ...(i)


After placing masses,final angular velocity of system =ω
(1, 3 represents masses and 2 for the ring)
Final angular momentum
Lf=(I1+I2+I3)ω
Lf=(mr2+Mr2+mr2)ω
Lf=(M+2m)r2ω ...(ii)
As the masses were placed gently on ring, all interactions between ring and masses being internal for the system of (ring+masses) hence the external torque is zero.
τext=0
Applying angular momentum conservation:
Li=Lf
Or, Mr2ω=(M+2m)r2ω
ω=MωM+2m
New angular velocity ω of the ring is MωM+2m
