answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Let the centre of mass (CM) be at origin of coordinate system and each particle X and Y are in x-axis
 
If rx and -ry are respective x-coordinates of particle X and Y , then we have
 
mx rx - my ry = 0 ........................(1)
 
when they approach each other , if their respective velocities are v and 2v,
 
then we have,    mx v - my 2v = 0 ..............(2)
 
[ CM will not move ]
 
from eqn.(2), we get, mx =  2 my ............(3)
 
using the equation (3) , if we substitute mx in eqn.(1), we get , rx = ry / 2
