Detailed Solution

Let initial mass = m

Mass of removed square portion

$= \frac{m}{π R^{2}} \times (\frac{R^{2}}{2}) = \frac{m}{2 π}$

Let centre of circular lamina is origin.

Then C.O.M of square is at $(\frac{a}{4}, 0)$

$X_{s h i f t} = \frac{m_{1} x_{1} - m_{2} x_{2}}{m_{1} - m_{2}}$

$= \frac{m (0) - \frac{m}{2 π} (\frac{a}{4})}{m - \frac{m}{2 π}}$

$= \frac{m a}{4 m (2 π - 1)}$

$= \frac{a}{4 (2 π - 1)}$
