Masses $m \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^N \frac{1}{N}$ are placed at $x=N$,where $N=2, 3, 4, \ldots \infty$. If the total mass of the system is $M$,then the centre of mass is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{6} \frac{m}{M}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{5} \frac{m}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3} \frac{m}{M}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{M}$
