JEE Main Physics question

PhysicsSystems of Particles and Rotational MotionJEE Main

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

Answer: (A)

Solution

Mutual attraction is internal to the two-particle system, so (starting from rest) the CM's velocity remains zero for all time.
