Four bodies of masses $2\,kg, 3\,kg, 5\,kg$ and $8\,kg$ are placed at the four corners of a square of side $2\,m$ as shown in the figure. The position of the centre of mass $(CM)$ is:

  • A
    $\left( \frac{8}{9}, \frac{13}{9} \right)$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{7}{9}, \frac{11}{9} \right)$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{11}{9}, \frac{13}{9} \right)$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{11}{9}, \frac{8}{9} \right)$
