In the given figure,a ring of mass $m$ is kept on a horizontal surface,and a body of equal mass $m$ is attached through a string wound on the ring. When the system is released,the ring rolls without slipping. Consider the following statements and choose the correct option.
$(i)$ Acceleration of the centre of mass of the ring is $\frac{g}{3}$.
$(ii)$ Acceleration of the hanging particle is $\frac{2g}{3}$.
$(iii)$ Frictional force (on the ring) acts in the forward direction.
$(iv)$ Frictional force (on the ring) acts in the backward direction.

• A
