$A$ thick-walled hollow sphere has outside radius $R_0$. It rolls down an incline without slipping and its speed at the bottom is $v_0$. Now the incline is waxed,so that it is practically frictionless and the sphere is observed to slide down (without any rolling). Its speed at the bottom is observed to be $5v_0/4$. The radius of gyration of the hollow sphere about an axis through its centre is

  • A
    $3R_0/2$
  • B
    $3R_0/4$
  • C
    $9R_0/16$
  • D
    $3R_0$
