The charges on particles A and B are +q and +4q respectively and their mass is m. If these are accelerated from rest through same potential difference then the ratio of their velocities will be
 
a)  1 : 4
b)  4 : 1
c)  2 : 1
d)  1 : 2

When a charged particle accelerates through a potential difference, the potential energy acquired by the particle = work done in the process
                                              = charge(q) x potential difference(V).
                                              = qV
And this will be a increase in P.E. if the initial P.E. is lower than final one and in such a case there will be decrease in K.E.
But the condition in your problem states that the charges are accelerated. Thus the K.E. has increased and so P.E. must have decreased (i,e initial P.E. > final P.E.), and here we apply the principle of conservation of energy to state that--
     Loss in P.E. = Gain in K.E. 
  => qV = 1/2 mv2 (v = gain in velocity starting from rest and m=mass of charge)
  => v =  (2qV/m)
i,e when V and m are same (as said in question) , v   q
Thus in your question
let velocity of +q charge be v1 and that of +4q charge be v2
thus v1/v2 =  (q/4q)
               =  (1/4)
               = 1/2
thus v: v2 = 1 : 2
thus option 4 is correct friend......
