Two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ initially at rest start moving towards each other under their mutual force of attraction. The speed of the centre of mass at any time $t$,when they are at a distance $r$ apart,is

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\left( {G\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{{{m_1}}}} \right)\,t$
  • C
    $\left( {G\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{{{m_2}}}} \right)\,t$
  • D
    $\left( {G\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{{r^2}}} \cdot \frac{1}{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}} \right)\,t$

$A$ system consists of two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ separated by a distance $r$. If the particle of mass $m_1$ is moved towards the centre of mass by a distance $d$,then the particle of mass $m_2$ must be moved by a distance $d'$ so that the centre of mass remains at the same position. The value of $d'$ is:
