Solution

The correct option is B mAvA>mBvB
When a charged particle is moving at right angle to the magnetic field, then a force acts on it which behaves as a centripetal force and moves the particle in circular path.
But, r=pqB
Radius of B is less than radius of A.
rB<rA
pB<pA
mBvB<mAvA
mAvA>mBvB.
