The time period of the disc is $2 \pi \sqrt{(3 r / 2 g )}$
We know that the time period of an object,
$T =2 \pi \sqrt{(I / mgL )}$
where,
$I=$ moment of inertia from the suspended point
$L =$ distance of its centre from suspended point $= r$
we know that, the moment of inertia of disc about its centre $= mr ^2 / 2$
using parallel axis theoram the moment of inertia from a point in its periphery,
$I = mr ^2+ mr ^2 / 2=3 mr ^2 / 2$
putting the values in the above equation we get,
$2 \pi \sqrt{\left(3 mr ^2 / 2 mgr \right)}$
$=2 \pi \sqrt{(3 r / 2 g )}$
therefore, the time period of the disc is $2 \pi \sqrt{(3 r / 2 g )}$
