Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john m_1=95.6 kg

Mass of barbara m_2=55.3 kg

John is standing at x=10.9 m

Barbara is standing at x=2.50 m

x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}

x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}

x_{com}=7.821 m

Now if they change their Position then

x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}

x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}

x'_{com}=5.578

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of 2.243 m because heavier is shifted towards left
