From a uniform wire, two circular loops are made $(i)$ $P$ of radius $r$ and $(ii)$ $Q$ of radius $nr$.  If the moment of inertia of $Q$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is $8$ times that of $P$ about a similar axis, the value of $n$ is (diameter of the wire is very much smaller than $r$ or $nr$) 
$I _{ CM }$ is moment of inertia of a circular disc about an axis $( CM )$ passing through its center and perpendicular to the plane of disc. $I _{ AB }$ is it's moment of inertia about an axis $A B$ perpendicular to plane and parallel to axis $CM$ at a distance $\frac{2}{3} R$ from center. Where $R$ is the radius of the disc. The ratio of $I _{ AB }$ and $I _{ CM }$ is $x: 9$. The value of $x$ is $........$
