(N/A) The relative strength of the magnetic field is indicated by the degree of closeness of the magnetic field lines.
Field lines are closer together at point $X$ compared to point $Y$.
Therefore,the magnetic field is stronger at $X$ where the field lines are more crowded.
The direction of magnetic field lines outside a bar magnet is from the North pole $(N)$ to the South pole $(S)$.
