take a small circular ring at a distance x from centre of thickness $dx.$

$dI=dmx^{2}+dm\; R^{2}$

$dI=dm (x^{2}+R^{2})$

& $dm=\rho _{o}.2\pi x.dx$

$=\rho _{o} x.2\pi x.dx$

$dm=\rho _{o} .2\pi x^{2}.dx$

$m=\int dm=\rho _{o}2\pi \int x^{2}dx=\rho _{o}\times2\pi \left [ \frac{R^{3}}{3} \right ]$

$I = \int dI = \varrho _{o}\times2\pi\int (x^{2}+R^{2})x^{2}dx$

$=\rho _{o}\times2\pi\left [ \int x^{4}dx +R^{2}\int x^{2}dx\right ]$

$I=\rho _{o}\times2\pi\left \{ \left [ \frac{x^{5}}{5} \right ]_{o}^{R}+R^{2} \left [ \frac{x^{3}}{3} \right ]_{o}^{R}\right \}$

$I=\rho _{o}\times2\pi\left [ \frac{R^{5}}{5}+\frac{R^{5}}{3} \right ]$

$I=\frac{16\pi}{15}\rho _{o}\pi R^{5}, M=2\pi \rho _{o}(\frac{R^{3}}{3})$

So $I = \frac{8}{5}mR^{2}\Rightarrow a=\frac{8}{5}$

Option 3)

$8/5$

Option 4)

$3/2$
