Two particles of charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ are projected from the same point with a velocity $v$ in a region of uniform magnetic field $B$ such that the velocity vector makes an angle $q$ with the magnetic field. Their masses are $M$ and $2M,$ respectively. Then, they will meet again for the first time at a point whose distance from the point of projection is
