Two point masses of 0.3 kg and 0.7 kg are fixed at the ends of a rod of length 1.4 m and of negligible mass. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular to its length with a uniform angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required for rotation of the rod is minimum is located at a distance of
a)	0.42 m from the mass of 0.3 kg	b)	0.70 m from the mass of 0.7 kg
c)	0.98 m from the mass of 0.3 kg	d)	0.98 m from the mass of 0.7 kg
