Solution

The correct option is A 10gh7
The loss in gravitational potential energy is equal to the gain in translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy for the case of maximum velocity of sphere when it reaches ground.
mgh=12mv2+12Iω2

mgh=12mv2+12(25mR2)ω2

From the no-slip condition:
v=Rω
mgh=12mv2+210mv2
v=10gh7
