A bomb is initially located at the origin (x = 0). The bomb then explodes, breaking into two pieces with masses m and 3m. The pieces fly away in opposite directions along the x axis. Some time later, the smaller piece is at x = - 6.0 m. If all friction is negligible, where is the larger piece at that moment?

(a) x = 2.0 m

(b) x = 3.0 m

(c) x = 12 m

(d) x = 18 m
