Solution

The correct option is A 12Mr2
If M is the mass of the semi-circular disc, then the mass of the complete disc will be 2M.
Moment of inertia of complete disc about the given axis
=12(2M)r2=Mr2

The moment of inertia of the semi-circular disc is half of the Moment of inertia of the circular disc due to symmetry.
Moment of inertia of semi-circular disc =12Mr2
So, (D) is the right choice.
