A particle of mass $m$ moves in the $XY$ plane with a velocity $V$ along the straight line $AB$ . If the angular momentum of the particle with respect to origin $O$ is $L_A$ when it is at $A$ and $L_B$ when it is at $B$ , then

$A$ 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 :
