A straw of length L, mass M lies over a smooth horizontal table with its `(`2/3`)^(rd)` part hanging in air. There is an insect of mass m at the end of straw initially. Insects slowly moves on straw to other end such that straw never falls off the table.

A

Displacement of straw w.r.t. ground (in terms of m,M,L)
when the insect reaches the other end of straw is `(mL)/(M+m)`

B

Displacement of straw w.r.t. ground (in terms of m,M,L) when the insect reaches the other end of straw is `(2mL)/(M+m)`

C

The minimum mass ratio `(m/M)` of insect of straw is `1/2`

D

The minimum mass ratio `(m/M)` of insect of straw is `1/4`
