Solution

The correct option is D All of the above reach ground at same time

Since linear acceleration is the same for all i.e.
a=gsinθμgcosθ
As they have the same mass (m) and friction coefficient (μ)
Distance covered, s=12at2
Since all three starts from rest and cover equal distance while accelerating at same rate, we can conclude that all will reach the bottom simultaneously.
Hence option (d) is correct
