$A$ particle having a mass of $10^{-2} \, kg$ carries a charge of $5 \times 10^{-8} \, C$. The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of $10^5 \, m/s$ in the presence of an electric field $\vec{E}$ and a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction,it is necessary that:
$(1)$ $\vec{B}$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and $\vec{E}$ should be along the direction of velocity.
$(2)$ Both $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{E}$ should be along the direction of velocity.
$(3)$ Both $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{E}$ are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
$(4)$ $\vec{B}$ should be along the direction of velocity and $\vec{E}$ should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
Which one of the following pairs of statements is possible?

  • A
    $(1)$ and $(3)$
  • B
    $(3)$ and $(4)$
  • C
    $(2)$ and $(3)$
  • D
    $(2)$ and $(4)$
