Two particles of mass 1 kg and 3 kg move towards each other under mutual force of attraction. No other force acts on them. When the relative velocity of approach of the two particles is $2 m s^{- 1}$ their centre of mass has a velocity of $0.5 m s^{- 1}$ and when their velocity of approach become $3 m s^{- 1}$ , the velocity of their centre of mass is $0.75 m s^{- 1}$ . Then,
