Detailed Solution

If a body is moving on a frictionless surface, then its total mechanical energy remains conserved
According to the conservation of mechanical energy,
TEinitial=TEfinal
KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf
0+mgh=12A2+0
  gh=υA22
  h=υA22 g.  (i)
In order to complete the vertical circle, the velocity of the body at point A should be
υA=υmin=5 gR
where, R is the radius of the body,
Here,  R=AB2=D2
  υmin=υA=52gD
Substituting the value of υA  in Equation (i), we get
h=52gD2 g=5 dD2×2 g=54D
