Explanation
Magnetic intensity on end side-on position is twice than broad side on position.
Provided length of magnet is < < the distance.
Permeability of soft iron is maximum, so maximum lines of force tries to pass through the soft iron.
Number of lines of force passing through per unit area normally is intensity of magnetic field, hence option (c) is incorrect. The correct option is (b).
