Solution

The correct option is C 23 kg-m2
Given:
mass of ball A;mA=2 kg
Distance of ball A from axis of rotation rA=3 m
Mass of ball B,mB=5 kg
Distance of ball B from axis of rotation rB=1 m

Let IA= moment of inertia of ball A
IB= moment of inertia of ball B
So, total moment of inertia of the system I=IA+IB

I=mAr2A+mBr2B

=2×32+5×12
=23 kg-m2

So, moment of inertia of system is 23 kg-m2
