As we learnt in

Kinetic energy of rotation -

K=\frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}

- wherein

I = moment of inertia about axis of rotation

w = angular velocity

 

 K_{rot}=\frac{1}{2}I \omega^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mr^{2}\omega^{2}

K_{rot}=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 400\times 10^{-4}\times100\times 100

K_{rot}=400J


Option 1)

4 J

This solution is incorrect 

Option 2)

70 J 

This solution is incorrect 

Option 3)

400 J

This solution is correct 

Option 4)

800 J

This solution is incorrect
