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 =
