Solution
The correct option is B attract N1 strongly, N2 weakly and repel N3 weakly Ferromagnetic substance has magnetic domains whereas paramagnetic substances have magnetic dipoles which get attracted to a magnetic field. Diamagnetic substances do not have a magnetic dipole but in the presence of external magnetic field due to their orbital motion these substance are repelled.
