Solution

The correct options are
B CM of a uniform semicircular ring of radius $2 R / 3$ is $4 R / 3 π$ from the centre.
D CM of a solid hemisphere shell of radius R is $R / 2$ from the centre.
CM of a uniform semicircular disc of radius $R = 4 R / 3$ from the centre
CM of a uniform semicircular ring of radius $2 R / 3 = 2 (2 R / 3) = 4 R / 3$ from the centre
CM of a solid hemisphere of radius $R = 3 R / 8$ from the centre
CM of a hemisphere shell of radius $R = R / 2$ from the centre
So, options B & D are correct.
