  1. A
    Point moves slower than point .
  2. B
    Point moves faster than point .
  3. C
    Both the points and move with equal speed.
  4. D
    Point has zero speed.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In pure rolling:The velocity of the center of mass is .The velocity of any point at distance from center is the vector sum of linear velocity and tangential velocity .At highest point : Linear and rotational velocities are in the same direction. .At lowest point (point of contact): Linear and rotational velocities are in opposite directions. .Thus, Point moves faster than Point .
