Detailed Solution

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 will describe a parabolic path. So, a magnetic field must be present and its direction must be perpendicular to the direction of the velocity. The magnetic force experienced by the particle is given by F=q(v×B).
The magnitude of the force is F=qvBsinθ. If the particle is to move in the horizontal direction, this force must balance the force of gravity, i.e., mg=qvBsinθ
The minimum value of B corresponds to sinθ=1 or θ=90. Thus, mg=qvB

or B=mgqv=0.5×103×9.82.5×108×6×104=3.27T

Hence, the correct options are (1) and (3).
