A uniform electric field, $\vec{E}=-400 \sqrt{3} \hat{y} NC ^{-1}$ is applied in a region. A charged particle of mass $m$ carrying positive charge $q$ is projected in this region with an initial speed of $2 \sqrt{10} \times 10^6 ms ^{-1}$.

$(A)$ the particle will hit $T$ if projected at an angle $45^{\circ}$ from the horizontal

$(B)$ the particle will hit $T$ if projected either at an angle $30^{\circ}$ or $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal

$(C)$ time taken by the particle to hit $T$ could be $\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}} \mu s$ as well as $\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}} \mu s$

$(D)$ time taken by the particle to hit $T$ is $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \mu s$
