Solution

The correct option is A greater than
If we evenly spread iron filings on a bar magnet, we observe that more iron filings get concentrated towards the poles as compared to the middle parts of the magnet.
From this it is concluded that the attracting capacity of the ends of a magnet i.e. poles is greater than the middle part of the magnet.
