$A$ uniform thin rod $AB$ of length $L$ has linear mass density $\mu(x) = a + \frac{bx}{L}$,where $x$ is measured from $A$. If the $CM$ of the rod lies at a distance of $\frac{7}{12}L$ from $A$,then $a$ and $b$ are related as

  • A
    $a = 2b$
  • B
    $2a = b$
  • C
    $a = b$
  • D
    $3a = 2b$
