Detailed Solution

Case-1 : mgh1=(KE)trans=Ktrans=12mv2Whole gravitational potential energy is converted into translational K.E. only.Case-2 : mgh2=Ktrans+Krot=12mv2+12Icmω2Some part of gravitational potential energy will be converted into rotational K.E. also.Hence in second case, greater height is required.
