Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ An electron in a certain region of uniform magnetic field is moving with constant velocity in a straight line path.
Reason $(R) :$ The magnetic field in that region is along the direction of velocity of the electron.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Two particles of charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ are projected from the same point with a velocity $v$ in a region of uniform magnetic field $B$ such that the velocity vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the magnetic field. Their masses are $M$ and $2M,$ respectively. Then,they will meet again for the first time at a point whose distance from the point of projection is
