Solution
The correct option is C0.2^i−0.4^kNm 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=(12×10×10×10−4)^jAm2
−→A2=(12×10×10×10−4)^kAm2
−→A3=(10×10×10−4)^iAm2
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^i−3^j+^k)
