The centre of mass of three particles of masses $1 \ kg, 2 \ kg$ and $3 \ kg$ is at $(2, 2, 2)$. The position of the fourth mass of $4 \ kg$ to be placed in the system so that the new centre of mass is at $(0, 0, 0)$ is:

  • A
    $(-3, -3, -3)$
  • B
    $(-3, 3, -3)$
  • C
    $(2, 3, -3)$
  • D
