Hello!
Specific charge means= charge to the ratio of the mass
Let, Electron charge=e and Electron Mass=m
We know the following,
Alpha Particle's Charge= 2e and the mass is 4m
Electron's specific charge = e/m
alpha particle's specific charge = 2e/4m
Therefore, specific charge of electron to the alpha particle= 2:1
Hope it's clear now.
