    Ans : (a) `` M{r}^{2}``
    Consider an element of length, dl = rdθ.
    `` dm=\frac{M}{\,\mathrm{\,\pi \,}r}dl=\frac{M}{\,\mathrm{\,\pi \,}r}rd\theta ``
    MOI of semicircular wire = `` {\int }_{0}^{\,\mathrm{\,\pi \,}}{r}^{2}dm``
    `` I={\int }_{0}^{\,\mathrm{\,\pi \,}}{r}^{2}\frac{m}{\,\mathrm{\,\pi \,}r}rd\theta ``
    `` \Rightarrow I=m{r}^{2}``
