Solution

The correct option is C 32mr2
Since the planes of two rings are mutually perpendicular and centres are coincident, hence an axis, which is passing through the centre of one of the rings and perpendicular to its plane, will be along the diameter of other ring. Hence, moment of inertia of the system
I=ICM+Idiameter=mr2+mr22
I=32mr2
