Solution

The correct option is D xcm=0,ycm<0
Mass of rods will be m1=λl, m2=2λl, m3=3λl, m4=4λl whose centre of mass are shown in the figure given below :-


Position of x coordinate of centre of mass :
xcm=m1x1+m2x2+m3x3+m4x4m1+m2+m3+m4=λl(l22)+2λl(l22)+3λl(l22)+4λl(l22)λl+2λl+3λl+4λl
=122(l2l3l+4l)10=0ycm=m1y1+m2y2+m3y3+m4y4m1+m2+m3+m4=λl(l22)+2λl(l22)+3λl(l22)+4λl(l22)10λl
=122(l+2l3l4l)10=l52
So, xcm=0 and ycm<0
