$A$ uniform electric field,$\vec{E} = -400 \sqrt{3} \hat{y} \text{ NC}^{-1}$ 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 $u = 2 \sqrt{10} \times 10^6 \text{ ms}^{-1}$. This particle is aimed to hit a target $T$,which is $5 \text{ m}$ away from its entry point into the field as shown schematically in the figure. Take $\frac{q}{m} = 10^{10} \text{ Ckg}^{-1}$. Then-
$(A)$ 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 $\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}} \mu\text{s}$ as well as $\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}} \mu\text{s}$
$(D)$ time taken by the particle to hit $T$ is $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \mu\text{s}$

The coordinates of $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0)$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. How much work is done in moving a charge $q$ from $A$ to $D$ in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ directed along the positive $x$-axis?

$A$ particle having mass $m$ and charge $q$ is at rest. On applying a uniform electric field $E$ on it,it starts moving. When this particle travels a distance $x$ in the direction of the force,its kinetic energy will be . . . . . . .
