Applying conservation of angular momentum - 

 

I_1 N_1 = I_2 N_2

Now

I_1 = M_1R^2 + \frac{M_2R^2}{2} = {80 \times R^2} + \frac{200 \times R^2}{2}

N_{1}=5 \; rpm

When the person reaches center - 

I_2 = \frac{M_2R^2}{2} = \frac{200 \times R^2}{2}

So,

I_1 N_1 = I_2 N_2

\frac{360 \times R^2}{2} \times 5 = \frac{200 \times R^2}{2} \times N_2

N_2 = 9 \ \ rpm
