The ratio of the moment of inertia of a circular plate and that of a square plate for equal depth, is

1.

The ratio of the moment of inertia of a circular plate and that of a square plate for equal depth, is

[A].	less than one
[B].	equal to one
[C].	more than one
[D].	equal to 3π/16
[E].	none of these.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

For circular plate, MI = π*d^4/64.

For square plate, MI = d^4/12.

So, Ratio = MI of circular plate/MI of square plate.

= 3*π/16.
