Question: A uniform sphere and a uniform cylinder with the same mass and radius roll at the same velocity side by side on a level surface

A uniform sphere and a uniform cylinder with the same mass and radius roll at the same velocity side by side on a level surface without slipping. If the sphere and the cylinder approach an inclined plane and roll up it without slipping, will they be at the same height on the plane when they come to a stop? If not, what will be the percentage difference of the heights?
