A solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is divided into two unequal parts. The smaller part having mass $M/8$ is converted into a sphere of radius $r$ and the larger part is converted into a circular disc of thickness $t$ and radius $2R$. If $I_1$ is moment of inertia of a sphere having radius $r$ about an axis through its centre and $I_2$ is the moment of inertia of a disc about its diameter, the ratio of their moment of inertia $I_2/I_1 =$ _____.

Two masses 400 g and 350 g are suspended from the ends of a light string passing over a heavy pulley of radius 2 cm. When released from rest the heavier mass is observed to fall 81 cm in 9 s. The rotational inertia of the pulley is $\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}$. $\left(\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)$
