Dear Aakash

I=∫(dm)r2

you have to take an element and find dm for that

take ring of width dr at a distance r from the centre

area of elemental ring=2∏rxdr

mass of this ring= dm= (A+Br)2∏rxdr

I=∫(A+Br)2∏r3 dr limits from 0 to R

just intrgrate

I=2∏(AR4/4 + BR5/5)

 

All the best.

take elemental ring of r & thickness dr ...

mass of this ring is dm = (A+Br)2pirdr

moment of inertia = dmr2

now integrate this , take limit from 0 to R ...

this will give the total moment of inertia .....
