$A$ solid spherical ball of density $\rho_{1}$ and a hollow spherical ball of density $\rho_{2}$ have the same outer radius $R$ and the same mass $M$. What is the ratio of the moment of inertia of the hollow sphere to that of the solid sphere about an axis passing through their centers?

  • A
    $\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}}\left(1-\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}}\left[1-\left(1-\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}}\right]$
  • C
    $\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}}\left(1-\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}}\left[1-\left(1-\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}}\right]$
