The correct answer is: Mass of A is half that of B

So according to the De brogli's we know the relation between momentum and wavelength which is 

λ = hmv

If both particle have same velocity but when wavelength of A is found to be double than that of B

Then relation between mass of both particle is 

λA = hmAvAλB = hmBvBλA = 2λB

Thus, relation is mass of A particle is half that of B particle
