no one... the speed at the bottom depends just the vertical distance... for three ramps is the same
Are you sure?
@mayken
I agree with @mayken. the only acceleration acting on the ball is g in the vertical direction. and the displacement in that direction is same for all ramps. so, using this info in v^2 = u^2 + 2as we'll get, v^2 = 2gs. now g and s for all three are same. hence the speed of the ball will be the same irrespective of which ramp it takes.

dont know...
If the ramps are the same starting height, the speed at the bottom must be same, because of Conservation of Energy.
