Detailed Solution

For a cylinder  if Kr is translational KE and KR is rotational KEin case of pure rolling upto B: and After B: Rotational kinetic energy is constant however transitional kinetic energy increases.At C: while  Alternative solution:For journey from A to B, conserving energy we can write For solid cyliner,   At B, rotational K.E, Also for journey from B to C, loss in P.E. is converted into additional translational K.E. so KET at C =
