Solution

The correct option is A (56;56)
From figure L shaped lamina can be considered as combination of
(i)A square of mass m having centre at (12,32)
(ii)A rectangle of mass 2m having centre at(1,12)
( Area of rectangle is double that of area of square. So, mass of the rectangle is also double to that of mass of square)

Finding position of COM,
xcm=2m×1+m×123m=56
ycm=2m×12+m×323m=56


So, Coordinates of COM are (56,56)
