A pendulum is suspended by a string of length 250 cm. The mass of the bob of the pendulum is 200 g. The bob is pulled aside until the string is at $60^\circ$ with vertical as shown in the figure. After releasing the bob, the maximum velocity attained by the bob will be $\_\_\_\_$ $\mathrm{m\,s^{-1}}$. (if $g = 10\mathrm{~m\,s^{-2}}$)

A body of mass $m$ connected to a massless and unstretchable string goes in a vertical circle of radius $R$ under gravity $g$. The other end of the string is fixed at the center of circle. If velocity at top of circular path is $n\sqrt{gR}$, where $n \geq 1$, then ratio of kinetic energy of the body at bottom to that at top of the circle is:
(1) $\frac{n^2}{n^2 + 4}$
(2) $\frac{n^2 + 4}{n^2}$
(3) $\frac{n+4}{n}$
(4) $\frac{n}{n+4}$
