The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density $\lambda$ are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges $q$ and $- q$ are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the $x$ direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are)

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
