A solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is divided into two unequal parts. The smaller part having mass \(M/8\) is converted into a sphere of radius \(r\) and the larger part is converted into a circular disc of thickness \(t\) and radius \(2R~\). If \(I_1\) is moment of inertia of a sphere having radius \(r\) about an axis through its centre and \(I_2\) is the moment of inertia of a disc about its diameter, the ratio of their moment of inertia \(I_2/I_1\) is: 
1. \(35\)
2. \(70\)
3. \(140\)
