uniform and constant electric field E

and /or uniform and constant

magnetic field B are/is present. In Column I information about the

existence of electric and/or magnetic field and direction of initial velocity
of charged particle is given and in Column II the probable path of the
charged particle is mentioned. Match the entries of Column I with
entries of Column II.
