Question

Centre of Mass (CM) of the given system of particles will be at (A) O D (B) O C (C) O B (D) A O

If all the masses were same, the CM was at O. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/629bffb9e65e0346a05dc388b9dd78dd-.png" /> But as the mass at B is 2 m, so the CM of the system will shift towards B. So, CM will be on line O B.

$O D$

$OC$

$OB$

$A O$

If all the masses were same, the $CM$ was at $O$ .

But as the mass at $B$ is $2 m$ , so the $CM$ of the system will shift towards $B$ . So, CM will be on line $OB$ .
