Solution

The correct option is A ml212


Mass per unit length of the rod λ=m2l,
dm=λdx
The perpendicular distance of the element from the given axis is xsinα

The desired moment of inertia is

dI=(dm)(xsinα)2
I=x=+lx=ldI
=ll(m2l.dx)(xsinα)2
=ml23sin2α, Putting the value of α=30o we get,

I=ml212

Hence option A is the correct answer
