    The moment of inertia of two equal masses each of mass m at separation L connected by a rod of mass M, about an axis passing through centre and perpendicular to length of rod is

    A)  \[\frac{\left( M+3m \right){{L}^{2}}}{12}\]          

    B)  \[\frac{\left( M+6m \right){{L}^{2}}}{12}\]

    C)  \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{4}\]                               

    D)  \[\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Moment of inertia of rod about XY \[{{I}_{1}}=\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}\] Moment of intertia of two masses \[{{I}_{2}}=m{{\left( \frac{L}{2} \right)}^{2}}+m{{\left( \frac{L}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{m{{L}^{2}}}{2}\] \[I={{I}_{1}}+{{I}_{2}}=\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{12}+\frac{m{{L}^{2}}}{2}\] \[=\frac{(M+6m){{L}^{2}}}{12}\]
