As we learnt in

Moment of inertia for uniform rectangular lamina -

I= \frac{Ml^{2}}{l2}

- wherein

This is about an axis in the plane of the lamina passing through its centre & perpendicular to its breadth.

 

 

For a thin uniform sheet (square)

where I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{3}=\frac{ma^{2}}{12}


Option 1)

I> \frac{ma^{2}}{12}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 2)

\frac{ma^{2}}{24}< I< \frac{ma^{2}}{12}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

I= \frac{ma^{2}}{12}

This is the correct option.

Option 4)

I= \frac{ma^{2}}{24}

This is an incorrect option.
