$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table. $A$ small particle of mass $m$ strikes the rod with a velocity $v_0$ at point $C$ at a distance $x$ from the centre $O$. The particle comes to rest after the collision. The value of $x$ such that point $A$ of the rod remains stationary just after the collision is:

  • A
    $L/3$
  • B
    $L/6$
  • C
    $L/4$
  • D
    $L/12$
