In the case of a system of two particles of different masses,the centre of mass lies

$A$ thin rod of length $L$ is placed along the $X$-axis such that one of its ends is at $x = 0$ and the other is at $x = L$. Its linear mass density (mass/length) varies with $x$ as $k(x/L)^n$,where $n$ is any positive number or zero. If the graph of the center of mass $x_{cm}$ versus $n$ is plotted for the rod,which of the following graphs is correct?
