The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{2}$
Force on a charge particle moving in a uniform magnetic field at angle $\theta$ is given by
$F=q v B \sin \theta \Rightarrow$ Hence, $q_{1}=q$ and $q_{2}=2 q$ $\therefore \quad \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\frac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}=\frac{q}{2 q}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\frac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}=\frac{q}{2 q}=\frac{1}{2}$ (c) Given, $W=50 \mathrm{~J}$ and $q=25 \mathrm{C}$
Potential difference, $V=\frac{\text { Work done }(W)}{\text { Charge }(q)}$
$\Rightarrow \quad V=\frac{50}{25}=2 \mathrm{~V}$
