The correct answer is: 35

The angular momentum about the diameter is 

Ldiameter =25MR2ω;

The moment of inertia of a sphere is ICM=25MR2. The moment of inertia about the tangent is 

Itangent =ICM+MR2=25MR2+MR2=75MR2.

It is given that ω=10 rad s-1

Using the given relation between the moment of inertia and the angular momentum,

75MR2=x×10-2×25MR2ωx=3.5×102ω=3.5×10=35
