As we learnt in 

On Equatorial Position -

B_{e}= \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{M}{\left ( r^{2}+a^{2} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}}

- wherein

Equatorial position

 

 At 30cm from the magnet on its equotorial plane \overrightarrow{B}_{magnet}= \overrightarrow{B_{H}}

\overrightarrow{B}_{magnet} = \overrightarrow{B_H}\, \, \, \, \because (Neutral \, \, Point)

\frac{\mu _{0}m}{4\pi r^{2}}= 3.6\times 10^{-5}T= \frac{10^{-7}\times m}{\left ( 0.3 \right )^{3}}= 3.6\times 10^{-5}

m=3.6\times 0.07\times 10^{2}= 9.7 Am^{2}
