Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}+\frac{\mu_0(2 \mathrm{i})}{2 \pi(3 \mathrm{r})}=\frac{5 \mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{6 \pi \mathrm{r}}\)

\(\mathrm{B}_C=\frac{\mu_0(2 \mathrm{i})}{2 \pi \mathrm{r}}+\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{2 \pi(3 \mathrm{r})}=\frac{7 \mu_0 \mathrm{i}}{6 \pi \mathrm{r}}\)

\(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{B}_A}{\mathrm{~B}_C}=\frac{5}{7}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{x}=5\)
