The figure shows a uniform rod lying along the 
-axis. The locus of all the points lying on the 
-plane, about which the moment of inertia of the rod is same as that about 
is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
From theorem of parallel axes, moment of inertia about an axis passing through a distance 
from center in all directions will have moment of inertia 
. All such points at same distance from centre will lie in a circle.
