In the absence of a magnetic field, the particle will experience gravitational force mg. As a result, the particle will not  continue moving in the horizontal direction. But describe a parabolic path . So, a magnetic field must  be present and its direction must be perpendicular to the direction of velocity.

The magnetic force experienced by the particle F=qV×B.F=BqVsinθ

If the particle move in horizontal direction, the force balances the force of gravity

BqVsinθ=mg      θ=900

BqV=mg   (or)  B=mgqv=0.5×103×9.82.5×108×6×104=3.27T.
