Q69 / 75 · JEE Main 2025 (7 Apr Shift 1) · Physics

$\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and C are disc, solid sphere and spherical shell respectively with same radii and masses. These masses are placed as shown in figure.
Figure
The moment of inertia of the given system about $P Q$ is $\frac{X}{15} I$, where $I$ is the moment of inertia of the disc about its diameter. The value of x is _______.

Correct answer: 199

Solution

Figure
All bodies have same mass and same radius.
$\mathrm{A} \rightarrow$ Disc
$\mathrm{B} \rightarrow$ Solid sphere
$\mathrm{C} \rightarrow$ Spherical shell
and, $\mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{4}$
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{4}+\left(\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2+\mathrm{MR}^2\right)+\left(\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{MR}^2+\mathrm{MR}^2\right)$
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\frac{15 \mathrm{MR}^2+24 \mathrm{MR}^2+60 \mathrm{MR}^2+40 \mathrm{MR}^2+60 \mathrm{MR}^2}{60}$
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\frac{199}{60} \mathrm{MR}^2=\frac{199}{15}\left(\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{4}\right)$
$=\frac{199}{15} \mathrm{I}$

Hence, the correct answer is 199.
