Question

Two bodies of masres $$1\,kg$$  and $$3\,kg$$  have position vectors $$\hat i + 2\hat j + \hat k$$   and $$ - 3\hat i - 2\hat j + \hat k,$$    respectively. The centre of mass of this system has a position vector

A. $$ - 2\hat i + 2\hat k$$
B. $$ - 2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k$$  
C. $$2\hat i - \hat j - 2\hat k$$
D. $$ - \hat i + \hat j + \hat k$$
Answer :   $$ - 2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k$$
Solution :
The position vector of centre of mass
$$\eqalign{ & r = \frac{{{m_1}{r_1} + {m_2}{r_2}}}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}} \cr & = \frac{{1\left( {\hat i + 2\hat j + \hat k} \right) + 3\left( { - 3\hat i - 2\hat j + \hat k} \right)}}{{1 + 3}} \cr & = \frac{1}{4}\left( { - 8\hat i - 4\hat j + 4\hat k} \right) \cr & = - 2\hat i - \hat j + \hat k \cr} $$
