Solution

The correct option is D 113 kg-m2
Each ball of mass m=1 kg is at a distance of 1 m from axis OO'
i.e d=1 m.
So, moment of inertia of both balls is
I1=2×md2=2×1×(1)2
I1=2 kg-m2...(I)

Moment of inertia of uniform circular rod of mass M=5 kg and length l=2 m about OO' is
I2=Ml212=5×(2)212=53 kg-m2 ...(II)
So, Moment of inertia of system about axis OO' :
I=I1+I2
=2+53=113 kg-m2
