(a) $r = \frac{{\sqrt {2mK} }}{{qB}}$$⇒$ $K \propto \frac{{{q^2}}}{m}$ $⇒$ $\frac{{{K_p}}}{{{K_\alpha }}} = {\left( {\frac{{{q_p}}}{{{q_\alpha }}}} \right)^2} \times \frac{{{m_\alpha }}}{{{m_p}}}$
$⇒$$\frac{1}{{{K_\alpha }}} = {\left( {\frac{{{q_p}}}{{2{q_p}}}} \right)^2} \times \frac{{4{m_p}}}{{{m_p}}} = 1$ $==>$ ${K_\alpha } = 1\,MeV$.

    Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

    Assertion $A:$ For measuring the potential difference across a resistance of $600\,\Omega$, the voltmeter with resistance $1000\,\Omega$ will be preferred over voltmeter with resistance $4000\,\Omega$.

    Reason $R:$ Voltmeter with higher resistance will draw smaller current than voltmeter with lower resistance.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
