A circular disc is to be made by using iron and aluminium so that it acquires a maximum moment of inertia about its geometrical axis. It is possible with: 

1. Aluminium in the interior and iron surrounding it
2. Iron at the interior and aluminium surrounding it
3. Using iron and aluminium layers in alternate order
4. A sheet of iron is used at both the external surface and aluminium sheet as the internal layer
