A rolling wheel of $12 \,kg$ is on an inclined plane at position $P$ and connected to a mass of $3 \,kg$ through a string of fixed length and pulley as shown in figure. Consider $PR$ as friction free surface. The velocity of centre of mass of the wheel when it reaches at the bottom $Q$ of the inclined plane $P Q$ will be $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{ xgh } \,m / s$. The value of $x$ is.............

A flywheel is making $\frac{3000}{\pi}$ revolutions per minute about its axis. If the  moment of inertia of the flywheel about that axis is $400\, kgm^2$, its rotational kinetic  energy is 

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$ : When moment of inertia $I$ of a body rotating about an axis with angular speed $\omega $ increases, its angular momentum $L$ is unchanged but the kinetic energy $K$ increases if there is no torque applied on it.
Statement $2$ : $L = I\omega $, kinetic energy of rotation $ = \frac{1}{2}\,I\omega ^2$
