Options
Electron
Proton
He+
Li+

Solution
Li+
Time period of the revolution of the particle, `T = (2pim)/(qB)`
As frequency is the reciprocal of time period, so `f =(qB)/(2pim)`
The charge on all the four particles is same. But the mass is maximum for Li+. So, it will have the smallest frequency of revolution.
