For given pitch, $d$ corresponds to charged particle, we have

$\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{v} \cos \theta}{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{constant} \Rightarrow\left(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{m}}\right)_{1}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{m}}\right)_{2}=0$

Note Consider $e$ in place of $\mathrm{q}$ in solution.
