A proton and an $$\alpha $$-particle (with their masses in the ratio of 1 : 4 and charges in the ratio of 1 : 2) are accelerated from rest through a potential difference V. If a uniform magnetic field (B) is set up perpendicular to their velocities, the ratio of the radii rp : r$$\alpha $$ of the circular paths described by them will be ;
- A$$1:\sqrt 3 $$
- B1 : 3
- C$$1:\sqrt 2 $$
- D1 : 2
