Detailed Solution

Let v be the linear velocity of centre of mass of the spherical body and ω its angular velocity about centre of mass. Thenω=v2RKE of spherical body K1=12mv2+12Iω2K1=12mv2+12(2mR2)v24R2=34mv2                  …(i)Speed of the block will bev′=(ω)(3R)=3Rω=(3R)v2R=32v∴KE of block K2=12mv2=12m32v2=98mv2                   …(ii)From equations (i) and (ii), K1K2=23
