$A$ light rod of length $l$ has two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ attached to its two ends. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the centre of mass is

  • A
    $(m_1+m_2)l^2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{m_1 m_2} l^2$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1 + m_2} l^2$
  • D
    $\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 m_2} l^2$

Three point masses $m_1, m_2, m_3$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The moment of inertia of the system about an axis passing through the vertex $m_1$ and perpendicular to the plane of the triangle is not what is asked; rather,the axis passes through $m_1$ and bisects the opposite side $m_2m_3$. What is the moment of inertia of the system about this axis?
