Solution

The correct option is D Ten

Let us suppose we have a bar magnet. If this bar magnet gets broken into five pieces, these five pieces will also be five independent magnets.

Now since we know that every magnet has two poles, namely- north and south, each of these 5 pieces will also have 2 poles. Therefore, there will be 10 poles in total.
