$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is lying on a smooth table. $A$ small particle of mass $m$ strike the rod with a velocity $v_0$ at point $C$ a distance $x$ from the centre $O$. The particle comes to rest after collision. The value of $x$, so that point $A$ of the rod remains stationary just after collision, is :
