Solution

The correct option is C $2 : 1$
Given: $m_{1} : m_{2} = 1 : 2 d_{1} : d_{2} = 2 : 1 ∴ r_{1} : r_{2} = 2 : 1$
Therefore moment of inertia are:
$I_{1} = m_{1} r_{1}^{2} I_{2} = m_{2} r_{2}^{2}$
Ratio is $\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{m_{1} r_{1}^{2}}{m_{2} r_{2}^{2}} = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{1})^{2} = \frac{2}{1}$
