A uniformly thick wheel with moment of inertia I and radius R is free to rotate about its centre of mass (see fig). A massless string is wrapped over its rim and two blocks of masses $\displaystyle \mathrm{m}_1$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{m}_2\left(\mathrm{~m}_1>\mathrm{m}_2\right)$ are attached to the ends of the string. The system is released from rest. The angular speed of the wheel when $\displaystyle \mathrm{m}_1$ descents by a distance $\displaystyle h$ is :

Official answer
(2)
$\displaystyle \left[\frac{2\left(m_1-m_2\right) g h}{\left(m_1+m_2\right) R^2+I}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
