The ratio of the time taken by a solid sphere and that taken by a disc of the same mass and radius to roll down a rough inclined plane from rest, from the same height isA. `15:14`B. `sqrt(15) : sqrt(14)`C. `14 : 15`D. `sqrt(14) : sqrt(15)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
In case of pure rolling, `a=(g sin theta)/(1+(I)/(mR^(2)))`
`(I)/(mR^(2))=(2)/(5)` for sphere and `(I)/(MR^(2))=(1)/(2)` for a disc
`:.` For a solid sphere, `a_(1)=(5)/(7)g sin theta`
and for a hollow sphere, `a_(2)=(2)/(3)g sin theta`
From `s=(1)/(2)at^(2),t=sqrt((2s)/(a))or (t_(1))/(t_(2))=sqrt((a_(2))/(a_(1)))=sqrt((2//3)/(5//7))=sqrt((14)/(15))`.
