$A$ massless string is wrapped around a disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$. Another end is tied to a mass $m$ which is initially at height $h$ from the ground level as shown in the figure. If the mass is released,then its velocity while touching the ground level will be:

  • A
    $\sqrt {2gh}$
  • B
    $\sqrt {2gh} \,\frac{M}{m}$
  • C
    $\sqrt {2ghm/M}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{4mgh}{2m + M}}$
