General formula R = mv/qB

When a proton enter a perpendicular magnetic field intensity B and speed v. The proton move along a circular path of radius R.

R = mv/qB

where m = mass of proton

v = speed

q = charge

B = field intensity

If a deuteron enter into the same magnetic field with same speed the radius of the circular trajectory will same R, because deuteron is an isotope of hydrogen with 1 neutron and 1 proton. We neglect neutron because it is neutral.

Option (a) R is correct.
