Solution

The correct option is C 2710R17r10
Let v1 and w be the velocity and angular velocity of the sphere at B respectively.
As the is no friction. so conservation of energy is valid.
P.EA+K.EA=P.EB+K.EB
mgh+0=mg(2Rr)+12mv21+12Iw2
mgh=mg(2Rr)+12mv21+12×25mr2w2
mghmg(2Rr)=12mv21+15mv21 [v1=rw]
mg(h+r2R)=710mv21
Circular motion equation: mv21Rr=mg
mg(h+r2R)=710mg(Rr)

h=2710R1710r
