32.
A slender shaft supported on two bearings at its ends carries a disc with an eccentricity e from the axis of rotation. The critical speed of the shaft is Nc. If the disc is replaced by a second one of same mass but mounted with an eccentricily 2 e, then the critical speed of the shaft in the second case is
Nc/2
Nc/2
Nc
2 Nc

But deflection directly proportional to eccentricity i.e. Y = e/(wn/w) - 1. And hence the answer is correct.

It I think critical speed does not depend on eccentricity.

Because is equal to sqrt(K/m) or sqrt(g/deflection).
