Magnetic field due to currentHard

Question

H+, He+ and O2+ all having the same kinetic energy pass through a region in which there is a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to their velocity. The masses of H+, He+ and O2+ are 1 amu, 4 amu and 16 amu respectively. Then :

Options

A.H+ will be deflected most
B.O2+ will be deflected most
C.He+ and O2+ will be deflected equally
D.All will be deflected equally

Solution

RH+ = = R
RHe+ = = 2R
RO+2 = 2 = 2R
H+ is deflected most
