I think the correct answer is 1/3ml^2.

B is correct.

According to parallel axis theorem;
= 1/12ml2 + 1/3(l/2)2,
= 1/12ml2 + 1/4ml2,
4ml2/12ml2,
= 1/3ml2.

This answer is absolutely correct.

Where, an axis passing through its C.G mid point and perpendicular to its length for that, Ig= 1/12 ml^2.

And, an axis passing through C.G at the end point to the parallel axis on its length for that expression, Ig= 1/3 ml^2.

So, the answer is correct. I hope it will be helpful to us.

The moment of inertia of thin rod of mass M and length L about an axis passing through its centre of gravity and perpendicular to its length is Ig=ml^2/12.

And the moment of inertia about a parallel axis through one end of the rod is Ip=ml^2/3. Here the question mentioned midpoint so the midpoint is nothing but A centre of gravity so the answer is option D.

Given answer is correct, ml2/3 is end of the rod.

Option B is the correct Answer.

Here Q is mi at mid perpendicular to the length.

Mi at mid parallel to axis equal 1/12 ml^2.
Mi at mid perpendicular to axis equal 1/3 ml^2.
So the answer should be B.

According to me, it is 1/3MI^2.
