$A$ mass $m$ is at rest on an inclined plane of mass $M$,which is further resting on a smooth horizontal plane. Now,if the mass $m$ starts moving under gravity,the position of the centre of mass of the system will

Two particles $X$ and $Y$,initially at rest,move towards each other under mutual attraction. If at any instant the velocity of particle $X$ is $V$ and the velocity of particle $Y$ is $2V$,then the velocity of their center of mass will be:

Three blocks $A$,$B$ and $C$ are arranged as shown in the figure such that the distance between two successive blocks is $10 \ m$. Block $A$ has a mass of $10 \ kg$,block $B$ has a mass of $25 \ kg$,and block $C$ has a mass of $15 \ kg$. Block $A$ is displaced towards block $B$ by $2 \ m$ and block $C$ is displaced towards block $B$ by $3 \ m$. The distance through which the block $B$ should be moved so that the centre of mass of the system does not change is
