उत्तर
the two spheres reach the bottom together
Acceleration of a sphere on the incline plane is given by
\[a = \frac{g\sin\theta}{1 + \frac{I_{COM}}{m r^2}}\]
\[ I_{COM}\] for a solid sphere \[= \frac{2}{5}m r^2 \]
\[So, a = \frac{g\sin\theta}{1 + \frac{2m r^2}{5m r^2}} = \frac{5}{7}g\sin\theta\]
a is independent of mass and radii; therefore, the two spheres reach the bottom together.
