We know, a thin uniform rod lying on the axis that is passing through its center have a moment of inertia,
I(XY) = mL2/12
Where, m is the mass per unit length of the rod and L is the length of the rod.
Let us assume that the endpoint of the rod lies on the point (P, Q) and the moment of inertia at that point is I′.
I = mL2/12
m is the total mass.
By applying the parallel axis theorem, we have-
I′ = I + m(L/2)2
Since the distance from the center to the endpoint is 2L.
I′ = (mL2)/12 + (mL2)/4
= mL2(1/12 + 1/4)
= 4(mL2/12)
= 4I
