Two point masses $m$ and $4m$ are separated by a distance $d$ on a line. $A$ third point mass $m_0$ is to be placed at a point on the line such that the net gravitational force on it is zero. The distance of that point from the $m$ mass is:

  • A
    $\frac{d}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{d}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{d}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{d}{5}$
