The position vectors of two particles of masses $1 \ kg$ and $3 \ kg$ are $\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $-3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$ respectively. The position vector of the center of mass of this system is:

  • A
    $-2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$
  • B
    $2\hat{i} - \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$
  • C
    $-\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$
  • D
    $-2\hat{i} + 2\hat{k}$
