Solution

The correct option is D 107gh
When solid sphere rolls down on an inclined plane, then it has both rotational and transitional kinetic energy
K=Krot+Ktrans
or K=12Iω2+12Mv2
where, l= moment of inertia of solid sphere =25MR2
K=12(25M(2R)2)ω2+12Mv2 [R=2R]
=45MR2(V2R)2+72Mv2 [v=rω]
=15Mv2+12Mv2=710Mv2
Now, gain in KE = loss in PE
710Mv2=Mgh
v=107gh
