The moment of inertia of a cylinder of mass $M$,length $L$,and radius $R$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder is $I = M \left(\frac{R^2}{4} + \frac{L^2}{12}\right)$. If such a cylinder is to be made for a given mass of material,the ratio $L/R$ for it to have the minimum possible $I$ is

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two circular loops $P$ and $Q$ are made from a uniform wire. The radii of $P$ and $Q$ are $R_1$ and $R_2$ respectively. The moments of inertia about their own axis are $I_{P}$ and $I_{Q}$ respectively. If $\frac{I_{P}}{I_{Q}}=\frac{1}{8}$,then $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$ is

Two discs of same mass and different radii are made of different materials such that their thicknesses are $1\,cm$ and $0.5\,cm$ respectively. The densities of materials are in the ratio $3:5$. The moment of inertia of these discs respectively about their diameters will be in the ratio of $\frac{x}{6}$. The value of $x$ is $.......$.

The radius of gyration of a solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ about its diameter is $K_d$ and that about a tangent of a solid sphere is $K_t$. The ratio of $K_d$ to $K_t$ is
