Solution

The correct option is A 2πa4(A4+Ba5)

Given, σ=A+Br
Then, total mass of disc =a0dm=a0(A+Br)2πrdr
Moment of inertia of the disc about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane is
I=a0dmr2
=a0(A+Br)2πr3dr
=2π(Aa44+Ba55)
=2πa4(A4+Ba5)
Thus, option (a) is the correct answer.
