Detailed Solution
Time taken by the body to reach the bottom when it rolls down on an inclined plane without slipping is given byt=2l1+k2R2gsinθ Since g is constant and l,R and sinθ are same for both ∴tdts=1+kd2R21+ks2R2=1+R22R21+2R25R2∵kd=R2,ks=25R=32×57=1514⇒td>ts Hence, the sphere gets to the bottom first.
