$A$ thin uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $m$ is kept on a frictionless horizontal table with a massless string of length $L$ fixed to one end (top view is shown in the figure). The other end of the string is pivoted to a point $O$. If a horizontal impulse $P$ is imparted to the rod at a distance $x = L/n$ from the mid-point of the rod (see figure), then the rod and string revolve together around the point $O$, with the rod remaining aligned with the string. In such a case, the value of $n$ is:

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $18$
  • D
    $20$
