$A$ thin rod of length '$L$' lies along the $x$-axis with its ends at $x = 0$ and $x = L$. Its linear mass density $\lambda$ varies with $x$ as $\lambda = k{\left( {\frac{x}{L}} \right)^n}$,where $n$ is a non-negative constant. If the position $x_{CM}$ of the center of mass of the rod is plotted against '$n$',which of the following graphs best approximates the dependence of $x_{CM}$ on $n$?

The position vectors of two $1 \ kg$ particles,$(A)$ and $(B),$ are given by $\overrightarrow{r}_{A} = (\alpha_1 t^2 \hat{i} + \alpha_2 t \hat{j} + \alpha_3 \hat{k}) \ m$ and $\vec{r}_B = (\beta_1 t \hat{i} + \beta_2 t^2 \hat{j} + \beta_3 t \hat{k}) \ m$,respectively.
