    $I_A = I_B$
  • B
    $I_A > I_B$
  • C
    $I_A < I_B$
  • D
    $\frac{I_A}{I_B} = \frac{d_A}{d_B}$

From a uniform wire, two circular loops are made: $(i)$ $P$ of radius $r$ and (ii) $Q$ of radius $nr$. If the moment of inertia of $Q$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $8$ times that of $P$ about a similar axis, the value of $n$ is (diameter of the wire is very much smaller than $r$ or $nr$).
