A stream of charged particles enter into a region with crossed electric and magnetic fields as shown in the figure below. On the other side is a screen with a hole that is right on the original path of the particles. Then,

no particle can get through the hole
all particles can get through the hole
only positively charged particles with speed $\frac{E}{B}$ can get through the hole
all particles with speed $\frac{E}{B}$ can get through the hole
Solution

(a)
Direction of force on positive charged particle by Fleming's left hand rule is towards direction of electric field.
As, electric force on positively charged particle is also in same direction. So, a positively charged particle will be deflected upwards.
Hence, no particle can get through the hole in slit.
So, option $(a)$ is correct.
