Solution:

Let be the mass of the disc. Then translational kinetic energy of the disc is:
....(1)
When it ascends on a smooth track its rotational kinetic energy will remain same while translational kinetic energy will go on decreasing. At highest point Translational kinetic energy is transferred to Potential Energy.
