Two particles Y and Z emitted by a radioactive source at P made tracks in a chamber as illustrated in the figure. A magnetic field acts downward into the paper. Careful measurements showed that both tracks were circular, the radius of Y track being half that of the Z track. Which one of the following statements is certainly true ?
