Choose the correct statement about the centre of mass (CM) of a system of two particles

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

The CM lies on the line joining them at a point whose distance from each particle is inversely proportional to the mass of that particle

Option B (The CM lies on the line joining them at a point whose distance from each particle is inversely proportional to the mass of that particle) is correct because the center of mass position is inversely proportional to the mass of each particle.
