Detailed Solution

Position of centre of mass depends upon the distribution of mass and geometry of the system. Position of COM determines the nature of motion (rotational or translation) of a body under the action of external forces.

Centre of gravity is the point of action of resultant gravitational force acting on the system. Position of centre of gravity determines the stability of a body. So (a) is wrong and (b) is right.
