In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.







Six objects are placed at the vertices of regular hexagon. The geometric centre of the hexagon is at the origin with objects and on the -axis (see figure). The mass of the th object is where is an integer, is constant with dimension of mass and is the angular position of the th vertex measured from the positive -axis in the counter-clockwise sense. If the net gravitational force on body at the centroid vanishes, the value of is
