Two metallic blocks having masses in the ratio 2:3 are made to slide down a friction less inclined plane starting initially from rest position. When these blocks reach the bottom of the inclined plane, they will have their kinetic energies in the ratio

  • A. 2:3
  • B. 3:5
  • C. 3:2
  • D. 7:4

Answer: A. 2:3

Explanation: Conservation of energy: $PE = KE$. $mgh = KE$. Since h is same, $KE \propto m$. Ratio 2:3.
