Question
A solid sphere, a hollow sphere and a disc, all having same mass and radius, are placed at the top of a smooth incline and released. Least time will be taken in reaching the bottom by _________ .
Options
the solid sphere
the hollow sphere
the disc
all will take same time

Solution
all will take same time
The incline is smooth; therefore, all bodies will slip on the incline. Also, as the mass of bodies is same, they will reach the bottom in equal time.
