Solution

The correct option is B n<α<p<e
The e/m ratio is known as specific charge where, e is the charge on particle and m is mass of the particles.
For neutrons charge is zero.
mass =1.6×1027 amu
For proton charge =1.6×1019C
mass =1.6×1027 amu
For electron charge =1.6×1019C
mass =9.1×1031 amu
For αparticle charge 2×1.6×1019C
mass 4×1.6×1027 amu
From these data, it can be concluded that neutron has least (e/m) specific charge and electron has high e/m ratio.
n<α<p<e
