Solution

The correct option is B 1.9 m/s
To just complete the circle, velocity at topmost point should be zero.
Let the datum or the reference line be the line from where the ball is projected.
By the conservation of mechanical energy we get,
12mu2+0=12mv2top+mgΔH
vtop=u22g (2Rh)
0=u22g (2Rh)
u=2g (2Rh)
u=2×10 (2×10×1022×102)
u=20×0.18
u=1.9 m/s

Hence option B is the correct answer
