Q65 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jun Shift 1) · Physics
Two blocks of masses and are placed on the same straight line with coordinates and respectively. The block of is moved on the same line through a distance of towards the other block. The distance through which the block of must be moved to keep the position of centre of mass of the system unchanged is
- Atowards the block
- Baway from the block
- Correct answerCtowards the block
- Daway from the block
Solution

Initial position of centre of mass:
Final position of the centre of mass:
As position of centre of mass remains same,
Alternate method,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
