Given :

▪ Mass of person A = 60kg

▪ Mass of person B = 80kg

▪ Length of boat = 4m

▪ Mass of boat = 100kg

▪ Both persons move towards each other and sit in the middle.

To Find :

▪ Change in position of centre of mass.

Concept :

↗ Here on the entire system net external force on the system is zero hence centre of mass remains unchanged.

↗ When the total external force on the system is zero, the velocity of the centre of mass remains constant/zero.

Ans-D → 0m
