1this is according to the Special theory of relativity while travelling at speed c it has ∞ mass this is according to the initial frame and non-inertial frame
in a cyclotron if we accelerate an electron its mass begins to increase according to the formula→M=M initial/√1-v2/c2....so if v electron →c...then the mass of the electron →infinity....but how can a particle with infinite mass travel with velocity of light?????

1the cyclotron is only capable of accelerating particles up to a few percent of the speed of light.
To accommodate increased mass the magnetic field may be modified by appropriately shaping the pole pieces as in the isochronous cyclotron
Isochronous cyclotron is a cyclotron that maintains a constant RF driving frequency, and compensates for the relativistic mass gain of the accelerated particles by increasing the magnetic field with radius
i hope u got it...
