How does the ratio of rotational to translational kinetic energy of the cylinder compare with its original value?

A uniform solid cylinder rolls without slipping down an incline. At the bottom of the incline, the speed v of the cylinder is measured and the translational and rotational kinetic energies (Ktr, Krot) are calculated. A hole is drilled through the cylinder along its axis and the experiment is repeated; at the bottom of the incline the cylinder now has speed v′ and translational and rotational kinetic energiesand
