Magnetic field due to currentHard

Question

H+, He+ and O2+ all have 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

         

i.e.,    r ∝
If K and B are same.
i.e., rH+ : rHe+ : rO2+ 1 : 2 : 2
Therefore, He+ and O2+ will be deflected equally but H+ having at least radius will be deflected most.
