Question

Three identical particles each of mass 1kg are placed with their centres on a straight line. Their centres are marked A,B and C respectively. The distance of centre of mass of the system from A is

$\frac{A B + A C + B C}{3}$
$\frac{A B + A C}{3}$
$\frac{A B + A C}{3}$
$\frac{A B + B C}{3}$

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator A B plus A C over denominator 3 end fraction$
