Solution

The correct option is C (8310π16)MR2
Assume mass of one of the removed disc is m.
Since mass is uniformly distributed,
M4R×4R=mπR2
m=πM16 .....(i)
Iremaining=IplateIremoved
=Iplate4×Idisc


As we know,
MOI of plate Iplate=M12(a2+b2)
[Here , a=b=4R]
Iplate=M12[(4R)2+(4R)2]=83MR2
and Idisc about z axis (by parallel axis theorem)
Idisc=mR22+m(2R)2

So,
Iremaining=83MR24×(12×πM16×R2+πM16×2R2)
(m=πM16)
Iremaining=83MR24×52×πM16×R2=MR2(8320π32)
or I=(8310π16)MR2
