Solution

The correct option is C 0.2^i0.4^k Nm
Let us consider the given loop to be a super position of three loops as shown in the figure. The area vector of the loops (1) ,(2) and 3) are also shown.


From the figure, A1=(12×10×10×104)^j Am2

A2=(12×10×10×104)^k Am2

A3=(10×10×104)^i Am2

Therefore, Magnetic moment vectorr, μ=10(0.01^i+0.005^j+0.005^k) Am2

μ=(0.1^i+0.05^j+0.05^k) Am2

Thus, torque acting on the loop, τ=(0.1^i+0.05^j+0.05^k)×(2^i3^j+^k)

τ=∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k0.10.050.052.03.01.0∣ ∣ ∣=(0.2^i0.4^k)×104 Nm


Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
