Solution
The correct option is B 1 : 1 : 1 Since all of them had the same potential energy initially and there was no friction on any of them so all the energy converted to kinetic energy. For any mass m final velocity. mgh=mv22v=√2gh is independent of mass and path so all three of them will have same speed.
