Dear Sumit
 
 
L2 = 3R2
as MI of a solid cylinder about its own axis is ½ MR2
and MI about an axis passing through its centre of gravity and perpendicular to its length is
M(L2/12 + R2/4)
 ½ MR2 = M(L2/12 + R2/4)
R2/2 = L2/12 + R2/4
R2/2 – R2/4 = L2/12
L2 = 3R2
L1/2 = 31/2 R

½ MR2 = M(L2/12 + R2/4)
R2/2 = L2/12 + R2/4
R2/2 – R2/4 = L2/12
L2 = 3R2

as we know m.o.i of cyl. through central axis is mr^2/2.  and m.o.i of cyl. thr. axis passing thr. centre & normal to length is m(l^2/12 + r^2/4).  hence a.t.s. mr^2/2=m(l^2/12 + r^2/4). : r^2=l^2/6 + r^2/2 :r^2/2=l^2/6 :r=l/3^1/2
