Physics Question on Centre of mass

Three identical spheres each of mass MM are placed at the corners of a right angled triangle with mutually perpendicular sides equal to 3m3 m each Taking point of intersection of mutually perpendicular sides as origin, the magnitude of position vector of centre of mass of the system will be xm\sqrt{ x } m The value of xx is

Answer

The correct answer is 2

rcom​=3MM(0i^+0j^​)+M(3i^)+M(3j^​)​
rcom​=i^+j^​
∣rcom​∣=2​=x​
x=2
