Solution

The correct option is C 3R14(^i+^j)
Centre of mass of circular disc of radius 4R is at (0, 0)

Centre of mass of the upper disc of radius R is at (0, 3R)

Centre of mass of the lower disc of radius R is at (3R, 0)

Let, mass of complete disc, m4R=M

Since, the density of the cut-out discs are same as the discs of radius 4R, so the mass of cut out disc will be

mR=Mπ(4R)2t×πR2t=M16 (t=thickness of the disc

Since the small disc is cut off from the big disc, so we will take negative mass for that.

mR=M16

Hence, the centre of mass of the new disc at xaxis is,

¯x=m4Rx4R+mRxR+mRxRm4R+mR+mR

=M(0)M16(0)M16(3R)MM16M16=3R14

Similarly, centre of mass at y axis,

¯y=3R14

Thus, position vector of centre of mass,

rcom=3R14(^i+^j)

Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
