Magnetic moment =M; Initial angle through which magnet is turned \left(\theta_1\right)=90^{\circ} and final angle through which magnet is turned \left(\theta_2\right)=60^{\circ} . Work done in turning the magnet through  \mathrm{ 90^{\circ}\left(W_1\right)=\mathrm{MB}\left(\cos 0^{\circ}-\cos 90^{\circ}\right)}

\mathrm{ =M B(1-0)=M B . \\ .}

\mathrm{ \text { Similarly, } W_2=M B\left(\cos 0^{\circ}-\cos 60^{\circ}\right) \\ .}

\mathrm{ =\mathrm{M}\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{MB}}{2} \\ .}

\mathrm{ \therefore W_1=2 W_2 \text { or } n=2 .}
