$\frac{L (M_{1} + M_{2})}{2 M_{1}}$

$\frac{{LM}_{1}}{2 (M_{1} + M_{2})}$

$\frac{2 (M_{1} + M_{2})}{{LM}_{1}}$

$\frac{2 {LM}_{1}}{(M_{1} + M_{2})}$

Detailed Solution

The rod's mass can be thought of as being concentrated at its centre if the origin is in the centre of the disc and the x-axis runs along the length of the rod.

From the question,

$R_{cm} = \frac{M_{1} \times \frac{L}{2} + M_{2} \times 0}{M_{1} + M_{2}}$

$R_{cm} = \frac{{LM}_{1}}{2 (M_{1} + M_{2})}$

Hence the correct answer is $\frac{{LM}_{1}}{2 (M_{1} + M_{2})} .$
