Two circular rings $A$ and $B$ of radii $nR$ and $R$ are made from the same wire. The moment of inertia of $A$ about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of $A$ is $64$ times that of the ring $B$. The value of $n$ is:

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $6$
  • D

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z$-axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and $I_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.
Reason $R$: $A$ rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.
