Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled asReason R.

Assertion A:. If oxygen ion (O−2)\left(\mathrm{O}^{-2}\right)(O−2) and Hydrogen ion (H+)\left(\mathrm{H}^{+}\right)(H+)enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum, then the path of O−2\mathrm{O}^{-2}O−2 ion has a smaller curvature than that of H+\mathrm{H}^{+}H+.

Reason R : A proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
