The magnitude of the axial field due to a short bar magnet at a distance of $50 \,cm$ from its mid-point is (The magnetic moment of the bar magnet is $0.4 \,Am^2$)

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:
