As we learnt that

 

Moment of inertia for disc -

I=\frac{1}{2} MR^{2}

 

- wherein

About an axis perpendicular to the plane of disc & passing through its centre .

 

 

Perpendicular Axis theorem -

I_{z}= I_{x}+I_{y}

(for a body in XY plane )

- wherein

I_{z} = moment of inertia about z axis

I_{x} .I_{y} :moment of inertia about x & y  axis in the plane of body respectively.

 

 I=\frac{9}{2}MR^{2}-[\frac{M(\frac{R}{3})^{2}}{2}+M(\frac{2R}{3})^{2}]

    =MR^{2}[\frac{9}{2}-\frac{1}{18}-\frac{4}{9}]

I=4MR^{2}
