Options:
  • A $\frac{M \omega}{4 m}$
  • B $\frac{M \omega}{M+4 m}$
  • C $\frac{(M+4 m) \omega}{M}$
  • D $\frac{(M-4 m) \omega}{M+4 m}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{M \omega}{M+4 m}$
According to law of conservation of angular momentum
$$
\begin{aligned}
& M r^2 \omega=\left(M r^2+4 m r^2\right) \omega^{\prime} \\
& \Rightarrow \omega^{\prime}=\frac{M \omega}{M+4 m}
\end{aligned}
$$
