Solution

The correct option is C d>2mBq(v1+v2)
The particles +q and q will experience some force due to magnetic field and the direction of this force can be determined by Fleming's left hand rule. r1 and r2 are the radius of circular path followed by q and +q respectively.
To satisfy the condition of no collision
d>(2r1+2r2)
d>2(mv1qB+mv2qB)
d>2m(v1+v2qB)
