Solution

The correct option is B $(\frac{7 L}{8}, \frac{9 L}{8})$
Let $σ_{1}, σ_{2}, σ_{3}$ and $σ_{4}$ be the densities of four squares.

Given, $σ_{1} = 0.5 σ_{2}$
$σ_{2} = 2 σ_{3}$
$σ_{3} = \frac{σ_{4}}{4}$
Let $σ_{1} = σ$ (say) $\Rightarrow σ_{2} = 2 σ$
$σ_{3} = σ$
$σ_{4} = 4 σ$
Density $(σ) = \frac{m}{A} \Rightarrow m = σ A$
From figure:
COM of square $A (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (\frac{L}{2}, \frac{L}{2})$
COM of square $B (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (\frac{3 L}{2}, \frac{L}{2})$
COM of square $C (x_{3}, y_{3}) = (\frac{3 L}{2}, \frac{3 L}{2})$
COM of square $D (x_{4}, y_{4}) = (\frac{L}{2}, \frac{3 L}{2})$
Let $(x_{c m}, y_{c m})$ be the co-ordinates of COM of system.
$x_{c m} = \frac{m_{1} x_{1} + m_{2} x_{2} + m_{3} x_{3} + m_{4} x_{4}}{m_{1} + m_{2} + m_{3} + m_{4}}$

$= \frac{[σ (\frac{L}{2}) + 2 σ (\frac{3 L}{2}) + σ (\frac{3 L}{2}) + 4 σ (\frac{L}{2})] A}{[σ + 2 σ + σ + 4 σ] A}$

$= \frac{\frac{L}{2} + 3 L + \frac{3 L}{2} + 2 L}{8}$
$= \frac{7 L}{8} m$

$y_{c m} = \frac{m_{1} y_{1} + m_{2} y_{2} + m_{3} y_{3} + m_{4} y_{4}}{m_{1} + m_{2} + m_{3} + m_{4}}$
$= \frac{σ A (\frac{L}{2}) + 2 σ A (\frac{L}{2}) + σ A (\frac{3 L}{2}) + 4 σ A (\frac{3 L}{2})}{8 σ A}$
$= \frac{\frac{L}{2} + L + \frac{3 L}{2} + 6 L}{8}$
$= \frac{9 L}{8} m$
Location of COM $(x_{c m}, y_{c m}) = (\frac{7 L}{8}, \frac{9 L}{8})$
