The M.I. of a cyclinder about the axis of symmetry is equal to the M.I. about the axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its length. The ratio of its length to the radius is :

A

`sqrt(3):1`

B

`1:sqrt(3)`

C

`sqrt(2):1`

D

`1:sqrt(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Here `(MR^(2))/(2)=[(MR^(2))/(4)+(ML^(2))/(12)]`
`therefore (L)/(R)=sqrt(3)/(1)`
