Solution

The correct option is C 17:8
The time period of a magnetic dipole is given by
T=2πIMBH
Here, I is the moment of Inertia, M is the magnetic moment and BH is the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field.

When two magnets are linked together, let I be the new moment of inertia.

Let M1, M2 be the magnetic moments of individual magnets.
If similar poles are together, new magnetic moment of the combined system is M1+M2
If dissimilar poles are together, new magnetic moment of the combined system is M1M2

Therefore, T1T2=M1+M2M1M2
(106)2=M1+M2M1M2M1M2=25+9259=178

Thus,M1:M2=17:8
