$A$ cart of mass $M$ is tied to one end of a massless rope of length $10\, m$. The other end of the rope is held by a man of mass $M$. The entire system is on a smooth horizontal surface. The man is at $x = 0$ and the cart is at $x = 10\, m$. If the man pulls the cart by the rope,the man and the cart will meet at the point:

There are some passengers inside a stationary railway compartment. The track is frictionless. The centre of mass of the compartment itself (without the passengers) is $C_1$,while the centre of mass of the 'compartment plus passengers' system is $C_2$. If the passengers move about inside the compartment along the track,then:
