related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

Hey you have mentioned that it is a rectangularplate of same mass, breadth and length 2R which actually contradicts that it is a rectangle. I have solved the problem taking it to be a square.
Here is how I got it:
\Iofdiscaboutdiameter=41MR2 and \Iofsquareaboutdiameterofplate= 34MR2 .
So \Irequired=1219MR2

Ip=I (com) + Md^2 , p= moment of inertia of axis through p , parallel to centre of mass and at a distance d from centre of mass. Icom = M/6(R)^2 for rectangular sheet of breadth R
Therefore , Taking p is the centre of disk and axis parallel to centre of mass of rectangular sheet axis, We get Ip=M/6R^2 + M(3R/2)^2 {AS DISTANCE BETWEEN COM OF RECTANGLE AND CIRCLE IS 3R/2}
Therefore, ip = 29Mr^2/12 Adding this to Mr^/4 , we get 32mr^2/12

Hey dear, please post complete question because incomplete ques. causes undesired anxiety.
You have not mentioned about which diameter ?
Please post the complete ques. once more.

the disc and rectangular are attached about their ends

but answer is 31MRsqaure\12

No actually breadth is R and length is 2R

Is it attached about its length or width ?
