The correct answer is:
$8 \mathrm{MeV}$
Energy of a charged particle when accelerated through V
$\begin{gathered}E=q V \\ \text { So, } \quad \frac{E_d}{E_\alpha}=\frac{q_d}{q_\alpha} \times \frac{V_d}{V_\alpha}=\frac{(e) V}{(2 e) V}=\frac{1}{2} \\ E_\alpha=2 E_d=2 \times 4 \mathrm{MeV}=8 \mathrm{MeV}\end{gathered}$
$\begin{gathered}E=q V \\ \text { So, } \quad \frac{E_d}{E_\alpha}=\frac{q_d}{q_\alpha} \times \frac{V_d}{V_\alpha}=\frac{(e) V}{(2 e) V}=\frac{1}{2} \\ E_\alpha=2 E_d=2 \times 4 \mathrm{MeV}=8 \mathrm{MeV}\end{gathered}$
