As we learnt in

Parallel 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= M\left | \frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{12} \right |

for square plate it a = b

I=\frac{Ma^{2}}{6}

From Theorem of Parallel axis.

I=I_{0}+mr^{2}=\frac{ma^{2}}{6}+\frac{ma^{2}}{2}

I=\frac{2}{3}ma^{2}


Option 1)

\frac{2}{3} Ma^{2}

This is the correct optoin.

Option 2)

\frac{5}{6} ma^{2}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

\frac{1}{12} ma^{2}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 4)

\frac{7}{12} ma^{2}

This is an incorrect option.
