Answer:

Option A. 4 m

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, X is the distance from the centre to which the student on the right must sit in order to balance the seesaw.

Clockwise moment = X × 45

Anticlock wise moment = 3 × 60

Clockwise moment = Anticlock wise moment

X × 45 = 3 × 60

X × 45 = 180

Divide both side by 45

X = 180 / 45

X = 4 m

Thus, the student must sit at 4 m from the centre.
