Answer:
Fig.(1) shows the moment of inertia of disk of radius R with respect to the rotation axis perpendicular to the
plane of disk and passing through centre of mass.
 
Let the axis of rotation in fig.(1) coincide with z-axis of cartesian coordinate system.
 
Then begin mathsize 14px style I subscript z space equals space 1 half M space R squared end style
where M is mass of disc .
 
If our axis of rotation is either x-axis or y-axis as shown in fig.(2) ,
by perpendicular axis theorem
 
begin mathsize 14px style I subscript z equals space I subscript x space plus space I subscript y end style
 
By symmetry Ix = Iy
 
Hence Iy = (1/2) Iz = (1/2) (1/2) M R2 = (1/4) M R2
 
If axis of rotation is shifted to the edge of disc as shown in figure ,
 
Then by parallel axis theorem ,
 
begin mathsize 14px style I space equals space I subscript y space plus space M space R squared space equals space M R to the power of 2 to the power of space end exponent left parenthesis space 1 space plus space 1 fourth space right parenthesis space space equals space 5 over 4 M space R squared end style
