1. \( \frac{{h}^2}{4{R}} \)
2. \(\frac{3 h}{4} \)
3. \(\frac{5 h}{8} \)
4. \(\frac{3{h}^2}{8{R}}\)

Two blocks of masses \(10~\text{kg}\) and \(30~\text{kg}\) are placed on the same straight line with coordinates \((0,0)~\text{cm}\) and \((x,0)~\text{cm}\) respectively. The block of \(10~\text{kg}\) is moved on the same line through a distance of \(6~\text{cm}\) towards the other block. The distance through which the block of \(30~\text{kg}\) must be moved to keep the position of centre of mass of the system unchanged is:
1. \(4~\text{cm}\) towards the \(10~\text{kg}\) block
2. \(2~\text{cm}\) away from the \(10~\text{kg}\) block
3. \(2~\text{cm}\) towards the \(10~\text{kg}\) block
4. \(4~\text{cm}\) away from the \(10~\text{kg}\) block
