Two particles $\mathrm{X}$ and $\mathrm{Y}$ having equal charges are being accelerated through the same potential difference. Thereafter they enter normally in a region of uniform magnetic field and describes circular paths of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ respectively. The mass ratio of $\mathrm{X}$ and $\mathrm{Y}$ is :

Two protons $A$ and $B$ move parallel to the $x$-axis in opposite directions with equal speeds $v$. At the instant shown, the ratio of magnetic force and electric force acting on the proton $A$ is ( $c=$ speed of light in vacuum)

Assertion : A proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths will be equal.

Reason : Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a region of uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow B $ in a direction perpendicular to $\overrightarrow B $, will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.
