The moment of inertia of a uniform sphere of radius, r about an axis passing through its centre is given by $$\frac{2}{5}\left( {\frac{{4\pi }}{3}{r^5}\rho } \right).$$ A rigid sphere of uniform mass density $$\rho $$ and radius R has two smaller spheres of radii $$\frac{R}{2}$$ hollowed out of it as shown in the figure given below.
The moment of inertia of the resulting body about Y-axis is
A. $$\frac{{\pi \rho {R^5}}}{4}$$
B. $$\frac{{5\pi \rho {R^5}}}{{12}}$$
C. $$\frac{{7\pi \rho {R^5}}}{{12}}$$
D. $$\frac{{3\pi \rho {R^5}}}{4}$$
