As learnt in

Paraller Axis Theorem -

I_{b\: b'}=I_{a\: a'}+mR^{2}

- wherein

b\: b' is axis parallel to a\: a' & a\: a' an axis passing through centre of mass.

 

 

I_{xd}=\frac{M1^{2}}{12}

Thus, moment of Inertia of the frame:

I=\frac{M1^{2}}{12}+\frac{M1^{2}}{4}=\frac{M1^{2}}{3}

Total M.o.I= \frac{4}{3}M1^{2}


Option 1)

\frac{2}{3}M1^{2}

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

\frac{13}{3} M1^{2}

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

\frac{1}{3}M1^{2}

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

\frac{4}{3}M1^{2}

This option is correct.
