The moment of inertia of a rod about an ...

The moment of inertia of a rod about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its length is `ML^2//12` (where M is the mass and L is the lenth of the rod).The rod is bent in the middle so that the two halves make an angle `60^@`.The moment of inertia of the bent rod about the same axis would be :

A

`1/(48) ML^2`

B

`1/(12) ML^2`

C

`1/(24) ML^2`

D

`(ML^2)/(8sqrt3)`.
