why if an isolated south pole of a magnet is placed in a magnetic field, then it moves in the opposite direction of the magnetic field lines??but not in the case of north pole

Solution

Direction of magnetic field is from north to south pole.
When south pole is placed in magnetic field than, it always move towards the North pole hence move in the opposite direction to the magnetic field.
