a point particle is held on the axis of a ring of mass m and radius 'r' at a distance r from its center 'c' .WHEN RELEASED IT REACHES ' c' under the gravitational attraction of the ring.What will be its speed at 'c' ?

On the particle centripetal force of attraction acts so the particle execute S. H. M.Therefore the velocity at the centre of the ring is;             v=ωrwhere r is the angular frequency of the oscillatory motion.
