Three men $A, B$ and $C$ of masses $40\,kg, 50\,kg$ and $60\,kg$ are standing on a plank of mass $90\,kg$,which is kept on a smooth horizontal plane. If $A$ and $C$ exchange their positions,then mass $B$ will shift:

  • A
    $1/3\,m$ towards left
  • B
    $1/3\,m$ towards right
  • C
    will not move $w.r.t.$ ground
  • D
    $5/3\,m$ towards left

Two blocks of masses $10 \; kg$ and $30 \; kg$ are placed on the same straight line with coordinates $(0,0) \; cm$ and $(x, 0) \; cm$ respectively. The block of $10 \; kg$ is moved on the same line through a distance of $6 \; cm$ towards the other block. The distance through which the block of $30 \; kg$ must be moved to keep the position of the centre of mass of the system unchanged is
