$A$ system consists of two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is moved towards the centre of mass through a distance $d$,then the distance the second particle should be moved,so as to keep the centre of mass at the same position is

  • A
    $-\frac{m_2}{m_1} d$
  • B
    $\frac{m_2}{m_1+m_2} d$
  • C
    $-\frac{m_1}{m_2} d$
  • D
    $\frac{m_1}{m_2} d$
