Solution

The correct option is A K
The component of the current carrying conductor which is along the magnetic field will not experience any force but only the component of wire which cuts the magnetic field will experience the force.
Conductor M will not experience any force as it is along the magnetic field. Conductor K in whole cuts the magnetic field and thus will experience the maximum force. On the other hand, conductor L and N will experience less force than conductor K as only a component of conductors L and N cuts the magnetic field.
