Marks: +1, -0

A metal rod of length L and mass m is pivoted at one end. A thin disk of mass M and radius R (< L) is attached at its centre to the free end of the rod. Consider two ways the disc is attached: (case A). The disc is not free to rotate about its centre and (case B) the disc is free to rotate about its centre. The rod–disc system performs SHM in vertical plane after being released from the same displaced position. Which of the following statements(s) is(are) true?

[JEE Adv 2011 P1]

Restoring torque in case A = Restoring torque in case B.
Restoring torque in case A < Restoring torque in case B.
Angular frequency for case A > Angular frequency for case B.
Angular frequency for case A < Angular frequency for case B.
