Correct answer: B

  1. Use the radius formula in a magnetic field

For a charged particle moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field,

r=mvqBr = \frac{mv}{qB}r=qBmv​

  1. Relate velocity to kinetic energy

Given both particles have the same kinetic energy,

12mv2=K\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = K21​mv2=K

So,

v=2Kmv = \sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}v=m2K​​

Substitute into the radius formula:

r=mqB2Kmr = \frac{m}{qB}\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}r=qBm​m2K​​

r=2KmqBr = \frac{\sqrt{2Km}}{qB}r=qB2Km​​

Since KKK and BBB are same for both particles,

r∝mqr \propto \frac{\sqrt{m}}{q}r∝qm​​

  1. Write the ratio of radii

Thus,

r1r2=m1/q1m2/q2=m1m2⋅q2q1\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{\sqrt{m_1}/q_1}{\sqrt{m_2}/q_2} = \sqrt{\frac{m_1}{m_2}}\cdot \frac{q_2}{q_1}r2​r1​​=m2​​/q2​m1​​/q1​​=m2​m1​​​⋅q1​q2​​

Given:

r1r2=65,m1m2=94\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{6}{5}, \qquad \frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{9}{4}r2​r1​​=56​,m2​m1​​=49​

So,

65=94⋅q2q1\frac{6}{5} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}}\cdot \frac{q_2}{q_1}56​=49​​⋅q1​q2​​

65=32⋅q2q1\frac{6}{5} = \frac{3}{2}\cdot \frac{q_2}{q_1}56​=23​⋅q1​q2​​

Hence,

q2q1=65⋅23=45\frac{q_2}{q_1} = \frac{6}{5}\cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{5}q1​q2​​=56​⋅32​=54​

Therefore,

q1q2=54\frac{q_1}{q_2} = \frac{5}{4}q2​q1​​=45​

  1. Match with options

So the ratio of their charges is

5:45:45:4

This matches Option B.
