  1. A \(1: 3\)
  2. B \(1: 1\)
  3. C \(3: 1\)
  4. D \(2: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The rotational kinetic energy of a ring is \[ K_{R}=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2} \] For a ring, \(\quad {I}=M R^{2}\) and \(\omega=\frac{v}{R}\) \[ \therefore \quad K_{R}=\frac{1}{2}\left(M R^{2}\right) \times\left(\frac{v}{R}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} M v^{2} \] Also, translational…
