Detailed Solution

The radius of the circular path of a particle of mass m, charge e moving with a speed v perpendicular to a magnetic field B is given by

mv2r=evB or r=mevB

Thus, r is inversely proportional to em, the charge to mass ratio.

As we can see M is having smaller radius of curvature than N, So the charge to mass ratio M is greater than that of N.
