Detailed Solution

The radius of the circular path is given byr=mvqB =  2mKqB  ;   where  K=12  mv2Since K and B are the same for the two particles, r ∝  mq.  Now, the charge of an alpha particle is twice that of a proton and its mass is four times the mass of a proton, m/q will be the same for body particles. Hence, r will be the same for both particles.
