  1. Two particles which are initially at rest, move towards each other under the action of their internal attraction. If their speeds are v and 2v at any instant, then the speed of centre of mass of the system will be:
    1. 2v
    2. zero
    3. 1.5
    4. v
Correct Option: B

If no external force actson a system of particles, the centre of mass remains at rest. So, speed of centre of mass is zero.
