${H^ + },\,H{e^ + }$ and ${O^{ + + }}$ ions having same kinetic energy pass through a region of space filled with a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed perpendicular to the velocity of the ions. The masses of the ions ${H^ + },\,H{e^ + }$ and ${O^{ + + }}$ are respectively in the ratio $1:4:16$. As a result:

  • A
    ${H^ + }$ ions will be deflected most
  • B
    ${O^{ + + }}$ ions will be deflected least
  • C
    $H{e^ + }$ and ${O^{ + + }}$ ions will suffer same deflection
  • D
    Both $(a)$ and $(c)$
