Solution

The correct option is B 4(b2+a2+ab)3π(a+b)
Here, we can assume that a semicircular disc of radius a is removed from the semicircular disc of radius b.

We know that coordinates of COM of semicircular disc of radius r is given by

(x, y)=(0, 4r3π)

Here,
Area of plate of radius a=A2=πa22

Area of plate of radius b=A1=πb22

ycom of given plate is given by

ycom=A1x1A2x2A1A2

ycom=(πb22×4b3π)(πa22×4a3π)(πb22πa22)

ycom=4(b3a3)3π(b2a2)=4(ba)(b2+a2+ba)3π(ba)(b+a)

ycom=4(b2+a2+ab)3π(b+a)

From symmetry, we can say that xcom=0

Distance of COM of the given surface from centre
O is 4(b2+a2+ab)3π(a+b)

Therefore, option (B) is correct.
