$(c)$ Both circles do not touch each other.
$(d)$ Both circles touch each other.

The figure shows a region of length $l$ with a uniform magnetic field of $0.3 \, T$ in it. $A$ proton enters the region with a velocity of $4 \times 10^{5} \, m/s$,making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the field. If the proton completes $10$ revolutions by the time it crosses the region shown,$l$ is close to....... $m$ (mass of proton $= 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$,charge of the proton $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$)
