The correct answer is: 0.42 J
The kinetic energy of sphere while rolling on an inclined plane is given by
$E_K=\text { Translational kinetic energy }+ ext{ Rotational kinetic energy}$
$\begin{aligned}= & \frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \\ E_K= & \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times(0.5)^2+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} \times 2 \times(0.1)^2 \times\left(\frac{0.5}{0.1}\right)^2 \\ = & 0.25+0.17=0.42 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}$
