The correct answer is:
$\frac{7}{10} m v^{2}$
Take KE at bottom
$$
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{KE} &=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}\left[1+\frac{K^{2}}{R^{2}}\right] \\
&=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}\left[1+\frac{2}{5}\right] \\
&=\frac{7}{10} m v^{2}
\end{aligned}
$$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{KE} &=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}\left[1+\frac{K^{2}}{R^{2}}\right] \\
&=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}\left[1+\frac{2}{5}\right] \\
&=\frac{7}{10} m v^{2}
\end{aligned}
