Does centre of mass and centre of gravity body always coincide?

Statement-1 : For rotational equilibrium of floating bodies, meta centre must always be lower than centre of gravity of the body Statement-2 : When a floating body is slightly tilted from equilibrium , centre of buoyance shifts. The vertical line passing through new centre of buoyance and initial vertical line meet at a point, which is called meta centre.

In order that a floating object be in a stable equilibrium its centre of buoyancy should be

Does centre of mass of a rigid body lie always on the body ?

Explain how the position of the centre of gravity determines whether a body is in stable or unstable equilibrium.

P is the centre of mass of four point masses A,B, C and D which are lying in the same length but not along the same straight line then.
