A ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating with angular speed $\omega$ about a fixed vertical axis passing through its centre $O$ with two point masses each of mass $\frac{ M }{8}$ at rest at $O$. These masses can move radially outwards along two massless rods fixed on the ring as shown in the figure. At some instant the angular speed of the system is $\frac{8}{9} \omega$ and one of the masses is at a distance of $\frac{3}{5} R$ from $O$. At this instant the distance of the other mass from $O$ is

In the List-$I$ below, four different paths of a particle are given as functions of time. In these functions, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants of appropriate dimensions and $\alpha \neq \beta$. In each case, the force acting on the particle is either zero or conservative. In List-II, five physical quantities of the particle are mentioned: $\overrightarrow{ p }$ is the linear momentum, $\bar{L}$ is the angular momentum about the origin, $K$ is the kinetic energy, $U$ is the potential energy and $E$ is the total energy. Match each path in List-$I$ with those quantities in List-$II$, which are conserved for that path.
