Two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are separated by a distance $d$. The shift in the centre of mass when the two particles are interchanged is:

  • A
    $\frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} d$
  • B
    $\frac{m_2 - m_1}{m_1 + m_2} d$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 - m_2} d$
  • D
    $\frac{2(m_1 - m_2)}{m_1 + m_2} d$
