a charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field and follows the circular path at right angles to the magnetic field the field exists for a length equal to 1.5 times the radius of the circular path of the particle the particle will be deviated from its path by
1- 90 degrees
2 - 30 degrees
3 - 180 degrees
(please explain)

Please see diagram.
As I understand the question, let the uniform magnetic field B be into the plane of the diagram. Let the charged particle +q enter from one side of magnetic field with a velocity v.
The force on q is F = q v x B.
It is a vector cross product. The force is in the direction towards the center of circle and supplies the centripetal force. Since force and acceleration on q are in perpendicular direction to velocity v, velocity does not change.
The particle q moves in a circle and exits the magnetic field at the other end of the diameter at the entry point. Hence the angle turned by the particle is 180 degrees.
