JEE MAIN - Physics (2016 (Offline) - No. 19)

A roller is made by joining together two cones at their vertices $$0$$. It is kept on two rails $$AB$$ and $$CD$$, which are placed asymmetrically (see figure), with its axis perpendicular to $$CD$$ and its center $$O$$ at the center of line joining $$AB$$ and $$CD$$ (see figure). It is given a light push so that it starts rolling with its center $$O$$ moving parallel to $$CD$$ in the direction shown. As it moves, the roller will tend to : JEE Main 2016 (Offline) Physics - Rotational Motion Question 196 English

JEE Main 2016 (Offline) Physics - Rotational Motion Question 196 English Explanation
As shown in the diagram, the normal reaction of $$AB$$ on roller will shift towards $$O.$$ This will lead to tending of the system of cones to turn left.
