Question

If $${I_{xy}}$$ is the moment of inertia of a ring about a tangent in the plane of the ring and $${I_{x'y'}}$$ is the moment of inertia of a ring about a tangent perpendicular to the plane of the ring then

A. $${I_{xy}} = {I_{x'y'}}$$
B. $${I_{xy}} = \frac{1}{2}{I_{x'y'}}$$
C. $${I_{x'y'}} = \frac{3}{4}{I_{xy}}$$
D. $${I_{xy}} = \frac{3}{4}{I_{x'y'}}$$  
Answer :   $${I_{xy}} = \frac{3}{4}{I_{x'y'}}$$
Solution :
$${I_{xy}},$$  moment of inertia of a ring about its tangent in the plane of ring $${I_{{x^1}y}} = \frac{3}{2}M{R^2}$$
Moment of inertia about a tangent perpendicular to the plane of ring $${I_{xy}} = 2M{R^2}$$
$$\therefore {I_{xy}} = \frac{3}{4}\left( {2M{R^2}} \right) = \frac{3}{2}M{R^2}\,or\,{I_{xy}} = \frac{3}{4}{I_{{x^1}{y^1}}}$$
