Correct answer is : 12
On applying conservation of angular momentum about axis of larger disc.
\(\frac {1}{2}.M \left(\frac {R}{2}\right)^2 . \omega - M (\omega 'R).R - \frac {MR^2}{2}. \omega '=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac {\omega}{8} = \frac {3\omega '}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow \omega' = \frac {\omega}{12}\)
Hence, n = 12
