In a rectangle `ABCD, AB = 21` and `BC = 1`. Axes `xx` and `yy` pass through centre of the rectangle. The moment of inertia is least about :
.

A

`DB`

B

`BC`

C

`x x`

D

`yy`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The distribution of mass is nearest to axis `x x`, hence moment of inertia is least about the `x x`-axis.
