Initial position of centre of mass 
...(i)

If the particles of mass 
is pushed towards the centre of mass of the system through distance 
and to keep the centre of mass at the original position let second particle be displaced through distance 
away from the centre of mass
Now 
…(ii)
Equating (i) and (ii)
By solving 
Negative sign shows that particle 
should be displaced towards the centre of mass of the system
