$A$ small sphere of mass $m$ and radius $r$ slides down the smooth surface of a large hemispherical bowl of radius $R$. If the sphere starts sliding from rest, the total kinetic energy of the sphere at the lowest point $A$ of the bowl will be [given, moment of inertia of sphere $= \frac{2}{5} mr^2$].

  • A
    $mg(R-r)$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{10} mg(R-r)$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{7} mg(R-r)$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{7} mg(R-r)$
