Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R.$

Assertion $A :$ Moment of inertia of a circular disc of mass $'M'$ and radius $'R'$ about $X, Y$ axes (passing through its plane) and $Z-$axis which is perpendicular to its plane were found to be $I_{x}, I_{y}$ and ${I}_{z}$ respectively. The respective radii of gyration about all the three axes will be the same.

Reason $R$ : A rigid body making rotational motion has fixed mass and shape.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

A metal rod $\mathrm{AB}$ of length $10 x$ has its one end $\mathrm{A}$ in ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and the other end $\mathrm{B}$ in water at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If a point $\mathrm{P}$ on the rod is maintained at $400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, then it is found that equal amounts of water and ice evaporate and melt per unit time. The latent heat of evaporation of water is $540 \ \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}$ and latent heat of melting of ice is $80 \ \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g}$. If the point $\mathrm{P}$ is at a distance of $\lambda x$ from the ice end $\mathrm{A}$, find the value of $\lambda$.
