A particle with charge to mass ratio, $\frac{q}{m} = \alpha $ is shot with a speed $v$ towards a wall at a distance $d$ perpendicular to the wall. The minimum value of $\vec B$ that exist in this region perpendicular to the projection of velocity for the particle not to hit the wall is

The situation is shown in the figure.

Let the particle projected at the point $O$, undergo deflection due to the applied magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ in a direction normally inwards and let it just miss hitting the wall at $A$.

Then, $\mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{qB}}$

For the particle not to hit the wall i.e. to just miss hitting the wall,

$r=d \Rightarrow \frac{m v}{q B}=d$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{B}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{qd}}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\alpha \mathrm{d}}$
