The correct answer is: In $y-z$ plane
Velocity of charge, $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ along $\mathrm{x}$ axis uniform magnetic field, $\vec{B}=(2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) T$
Change will experience a force
$$
\begin{aligned}
& F=q \vec{v} \times \vec{B}=q(2 \hat{j}) \times(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \\
& =q(4 \hat{k}-6 \hat{j})
\end{aligned}
$$

So, charge will experience a force in $\mathrm{y}-2$ plane.
