Solution

The correct option is A $67 cm$

Suppose, centre of mass is $x cm$ away from mass $5 kg$ and assume that mass $5 kg$ is at $x = 0$ .

So,
$X = \frac{m_{1} x_{1} + m_{2} x_{2}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}$

$\Rightarrow X = \frac{(5) (0) + (10) (100)}{5 + 10}$

$\Rightarrow X = \frac{1000}{15}$

$\Rightarrow X \approx 67 cm$
