$A$ short magnetic needle is placed in a magnetic field $B \hat{i}$. The needle is oriented in the direction $(\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + \hat{j})$. The needle experiences a torque of $0.06 \ N-m$. If the same magnetic needle is placed in a magnetic field $2B \hat{j}$ and is oriented in the direction $(\hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j})$,the torque experienced by it is: (in $N-m$)

Two short magnets $AB$ and $CD$ are in the $X-Y$ plane and are parallel to the $X$-axis. The coordinates of their centres are $(0,2)$ and $(2,0)$ respectively. The line joining the north-south poles of $CD$ is opposite to that of $AB$ and lies along the positive $X$-axis. The resultant magnetic field induction due to $AB$ and $CD$ at a point $P(2,2)$ is $100 \times 10^{-7} \ T$. When the poles of the magnet $CD$ are reversed, the resultant field induction is $50 \times 10^{-7} \ T$. The values of the magnetic moments of $AB$ and $CD$ (in $Am^2$) are:
