What is the Optimal Position for a Spanner to Achieve Balance and Stability?

Asif Ahsan
The attached file contains a question my brother asked me solve. But this problem might have some problem of its own. I feel like every position of the spanner is a probable one. Can someone please help.

p.s. i know the answer but avoiding giving it to avoid getting biased.
