A uniform electric field, $\vec{E}=-400 \sqrt{3} \hat{y} NC ^{-1}$ is applied in a region. A charged particle of mass $m$ carrying positive charge $q$ is projected in this region with an initial speed of $2 \sqrt{10} \times 10^6 ms ^{-1}$. This particle is aimed to hit a target $T$, which is $5 m$ away from its entry point into the field as shown schematically in the figure. Take $\frac{ q }{ m }=10^{10} Ckg ^{-1}$. Then-

An electron of mass ${m_e}$ initially at rest moves through a certain distance in a uniform electric field in time ${t_1}$. A proton of mass ${m_p}$ also initially at rest takes time ${t_2}$ to move through an equal distance in this uniform electric field. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the ratio of ${t_2}/{t_1}$ is nearly equal to
