Answer 1

The correct option is C 1 - North, 2- North

Magnets have two poles i.e north pole and south pole. Like poles of magnets repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. It is given that the magnets repel each other. From this, we can infer that the poles facing each other would be north-north or south-south.
