$A$ uniform thin rod $AB$ of length $L$ has linear mass density $\mu(x) = a + \frac{bx}{L}$,where $x$ is measured from $A$. If the $CM$ of the rod lies at a distance of $\frac{7}{12}L$ from $A$,then $a$ and $b$ are related as

The center of mass of a system of particles with masses $1 \, g, 2 \, g$,and $3 \, g$ is at the origin. When a particle of mass $4 \, g$ with position vector $\alpha(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k})$ is added,the center of mass of the system becomes $(1, 2, 3)$. If $\alpha$ is a constant,its value must be:
