Correct answer: (a) Deviation of A is more than B
Explanation:
The deviation of the particle depends on its mass to charge ratio. In general, higher mass to charge ratio particles will deviate less. Here, the mass to charge ratio of A is 2 and the mass to charge ratio of B is 3. Hence, A will deviate more than B.
