1

On both sides of a magnetic needle, two short magnets A and B are placed on the same horizontal line which is perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. The south poles of $A$ and $B$ are facing each other, which are 10 cm and 20 cm respectively from the magnetic needle. If the needle remains undeflected, the ratio of the magnetic moment of $A$ to that $B$ is:
