Well if you're given the specific charge of a proton, and the alpha particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and neutrons have the same mass as protons but zero charge, then the specific charge is half of that of a proton. 
so, just divide the given specific charge of proton by 2 . 
and u will get the answer .
