Look at the drawing given in the figure which has been drawn with ink of uniform line-thickness. The mass of ink used to draw each of the two inner circles,and each of the two line segments is $m$. The mass of the ink used to draw the outer circle is $6m$. The coordinates of the centres of the different parts are: outer circle $(0,0)$,left inner circle $(-a, a)$,right inner circle $(a, a)$,vertical line $(0,0)$ and horizontal line $(0,-a)$. The $y$-coordinate of the centre of mass of the ink in this drawing is

  • A
    $\frac{a}{10}$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{a}{12}$
  • D
    $\frac{a}{3}$
