an electron is projected in a uniform magnetic induction obliquely. Its motion will be in which direction?(is it along a straight line? or a circle or a helix or a parabola? I need explanation)

If an electron is projected obliquely in a magnetic field then its motion will be HELICAL.
 
Explanation: As the particle is projected obliquely, so its velocity v can be resolved into two components.
v(parallel) , which is parallel to mognetic field which will be unaltered by magnetic field as F = q v(parallel) X B = 0
 
Now another component is v(perpendicular) which makes particle to move in a circular path.
 
thus perpendicular component makes particle to move in a circular orbit and parallel component displaces the particel thus the trajectory of particel is effectively the HELICAL.

The Scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, & he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Ofcourse I do not here speak of that beauty that strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities & appearances; not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmoniuos order of the parts, & which a pure intelligence can grasp.

Cosmic rays from the universe entering into the earth's magnetic field contains charged particles and are coming or entering obliquely into the earth's magnetic field, thus their path is helical.

sir ,
suppose a particle(charged) moving along the x-axis enters a region which has magnetic field along the negative z - axis . now at t = 0 it enters the region and it starts possesing velocity along y-axis .now i want to know , will there be a time when the resultant wil be only along the y-axis(i.e x-component = 0 ).
(i think this won't happen) now, if it doesnt happen , then how why do call its motion helical , because a helix is after all the circle which is translating .but in a circle a point should come when the velocity(resultant) is along the y-axis.
plzz. solve this contradiction

light travels the fastest ??? NO
wherever light goes it always finds that darkness has already got there
