$A B$ $X Y$ Attraction occurs.
$A B$ $Y X$ Attraction occurs.
(a) AB is a magnet.
(b) XY is a magnet.

Solution

(d) AB or XY must be a magnet.

In the first figure, if attraction occurs and both AB and XY are magnets, repulsion would have occurred. In second figure, the poles of XY have interchanged. It proves that either AB or XY is a magnet.
