Solution

The correct option is B minimum for solid sphere, maximum for hollow cylinder.
Acceleration of the body rolling down the inclined plane a=gsinθ1+K
where θ is the angle of inclination.
We know, Ksolidsphere=25, Ksolidcylinder=12, Khollowsphere=23 and Khollowcylinder=1
asolidsphere>asolidcylinder>ahollowsphere>ahollowcylinder
Now let the distance covered by each body along the inclined plane be S.
Using S=ut+12at2
where u=0 (as each body starts from rest)
S=0+12at2
t=2Sa
Thus we get tsolidsphere<tsolidcylinder<thollowsphere<thollowcylinder
Hence solid sphere takes minimum time and hollow cylinder takes maximum time to reach the bottom.
