Mass of $\mathrm{A}$ is (a) $\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2}$ (b) $\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{~m}$ (c) $\mathrm{m}$ (d) $\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{~m}$
Particles of masses $2 M, m$ and $M$ are respectively at points $A, B$ and $C$ with $A B=\frac{1}{2}(B C) . m$ is much-much smaller than $M$ and at time $t=0$, they are all at rest (a) $m$ will remain at rest (b) $m$ will move towards $M$ (c) $m$ will move towards $2 M$ (d) $m$ will have oscillatory motion
