  1. According to parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of a section about an axis parallel to the axis through centre of gravity (i.e. IP) is given by(where, A = Area of the section, IG = Moment of inertia of the section about an axis passing through its C.G., and h = Distance between C.G. and the parallel axis.)

  2. A.

    IP = IG + Ah2

    B.

    IP = IG - Ah2

    C.

    IP = IG / Ah2

    D.

    IP = Ah2 / IG
