The correct answer is:
\( \frac{2}{3} \Pi^{2} \)
Moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod is given as
\[
I=\frac{M L^{2}}{12}
\]
Moment of inertia of a ring is given as
\[
I^{\prime}=\frac{M R^{2}}{2}
\]
Therefore \( \frac{I}{I}=\frac{\left(\frac{M L^{2}}{12}\right)}{\left(\frac{M R^{2}}{2}\right)}=\frac{L^{2}}{6 R^{2}} \)
Now, \( L=2 \Pi R \)
Thus \( \frac{I}{I}=\frac{(2 \Pi)^{2} R^{2}}{6 R^{2}}=\frac{4 \Pi^{2}}{6}=\frac{2 \Pi^{2}}{3} \)
\[
I=\frac{M L^{2}}{12}
\]
Moment of inertia of a ring is given as
\[
I^{\prime}=\frac{M R^{2}}{2}
\]
Therefore \( \frac{I}{I}=\frac{\left(\frac{M L^{2}}{12}\right)}{\left(\frac{M R^{2}}{2}\right)}=\frac{L^{2}}{6 R^{2}} \)
Now, \( L=2 \Pi R \)
Thus \( \frac{I}{I}=\frac{(2 \Pi)^{2} R^{2}}{6 R^{2}}=\frac{4 \Pi^{2}}{6}=\frac{2 \Pi^{2}}{3} \)
