Solution

The correct option is B 4 rad s1
Maximum tension in the string will be at the lowest point of the circular path, where the tension will balance weight as well as provide the centrifugal force for circular motion.

The force equation at the bottom most point
Tmg=mω2r
mω2r=T5
For maximum angular speed, the tension must be maximum i.e. 37 N
Mass of the stone is 500 g=12 kg

ω2=32×21×r=644

ω=4 rad/s

Hence option B is the correct answer
