According to parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of a section about an axis parallel to the axis through center of gravity (i.e. $${I_{\text{P}}}$$) is given by (where, A = Area of the section, $${I_{\text{G}}}$$ = Moment of inertia of the section about an axis passing through its C.G. and h = Distance between C.G. and the parallel axis.)

Correct Answer: $${I_{\text{P}}} = {I_{\text{G}}} + {\text{A}}{{\text{h}}^2}$$
