(c) (i) is correct
Explanation:
On an unbanked road, external forces acting on nano are its weight (mg), normal contact force (N) and friction (μmg). Here,
weight of nano is balanced by normal reaction and centripetal force is provided by frictional force.
On a banked road, vertical component of normal reaction balances weight of nano and horizontal component of normal
reaction and frictional force provide centripetal force.
Thus, though in both cases, weight, normal reaction and friction are net external forces, centripetal force provided in both cases
is different.

Suppose, m1 = m, m2 = m
then XCM < XCM
i.e., Distance of CM w.r.t. mass M < Distance of CM w.r.t. mass m
i.e., CM lies nearer to M.
