A vibration magnetometer placed in magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of in earth's horizontal magnetic field of microtesla. When a horizontal field of microtesla is produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a current carrying wire, the new time period of magnet will be

Answer: (4)

Solution
