Seven identical coins are rigidly arranged on a flat table in the pattern shown below so that each coin touches its neighbors. Each coin is a thin disc of mass m and radius r. Note that the moment of inertia of an individual coin about an axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the plane of the coin is `m^(2)//2`

The moment of inertia of the system of seven coins about an axis that passes through the point P (the centre of the coin positioned directly to the right of the central coin) and perpendicular to the plane of the coins is–

A

`(55)/(2) mr^(2)`

B

`(127)/(2) mr^(2)`

C

`(111)/(2)mr^(2)`

D

`55 mr^(2)`
