Which of the following statements regarding the centre of mass is $NOT$ true?

Center of mass of a system of three particles of masses $1 \, kg, 2 \, kg, 3 \, kg$ is at the point $(1 \, m, 2 \, m, 3 \, m)$ and center of mass of another group of two particles of masses $2 \, kg$ and $3 \, kg$ is at point $(-1 \, m, 3 \, m, -2 \, m)$. Where should a $5 \, kg$ particle be placed so that the center of mass of the system of all these six particles shifts to the center of mass of the first system?

Distinguish between the center of mass and the center of gravity.
