Three particles of masses $50\, g$,$100\, g$,and $150\, g$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $1\, m$ (as shown in the figure). The $(x, y)$ coordinates of the centre of mass will be

  • A
    $\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{7}\,m, \frac{7}{12}\,m \right)$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{7}{12}\,m, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\,m \right)$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\,m, \frac{5}{12}\,m \right)$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{7}{12}\,m, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\,m \right)$
