Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

The angular momentum of a disc of  moment of inertia  and rotating about its axis with angular velocity  is

When a round disc of moment of inertia  is placed on first disc, then angular momentum of the combination is

In the absence of any external torque, angular momentum remains conserved, .,
