Answer 2

The correct question has been attached below.

The answer is option 3

• This is because of the way the I-beam is designed. It has more weight of its design inclined/resting on the base line.
• Thus, we can assume its entire weigh to be concentrated at a point close to or near to the base line.
• Centre of mass depends on the shape/ size and distance from the centre.
• Therfore, option 3 I-beam is the right answer, as its centre of mass is nearest to the base line as compared to the other three options.
