Hi Kiran,
If c denotes the velocity of light, than velocity of cathode ray is less than c because velocity of cathode ray is approximately 1/10th of the velocity of light. The cathode rays travel slower than velocity of light.
Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!
