Two thin circular discs of mass $m$ and $4 m$, having radii of $a$ and $2 a$, respectively, are rigidly fixed by a massless, rigid rod of length $l=\sqrt{24} a$ through their centers. This assembly is laid on a firm and flat surface, and set rolling without slipping on the surface so that the angular speed about the axis of the rod is $\omega$. The angular momentum of the entire assembly about the point ' $O$ ' is $\vec{L}$ (see the figure). Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true?
($A$) The center of mass of the assembly rotates about the $z$-axis with an angular speed of $\omega / 5$
($B$) The magnitude of angular momentum of center of mass of the assembly about the point $O$ is $81 m a^2 \omega$
($C$) The magnitude of angular momentum of the assembly about its center of mass is $17 \mathrm{ma}^2 \mathrm{\omega} / 2$
($D$) The magnitude of the $z$-component of $\vec{L}$ is $55 \mathrm{ma}^2 \omega$
