Two particles of mass 1 kg and 3 kg move towards each other under their mutual force of attraction. No other force acts on them. When the relative velocity of approach of the two particles is 2m/s, their centre of mass has a velocity of 0.5 m/s. When the relative velocity of approach becomes 3m/s, the velocity of the centre of mass is 0.75 m/s.

Since net force on the system is zero, velocity of centre of mass will remain constant.
