$A$ compass needle of an oscillation magnetometer oscillates $20$ times per minute at a place $P$ where the angle of dip is $30^{\circ}$. The number of oscillations per minute becomes $10$ at another place $Q$ where the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$. The ratio of the total magnetic field at the two places $(B_{Q}: B_{P})$ is:

$A$ vibration magnetometer is used at two different places $A$ and $B$ on the earth. The time period of a magnet suspended freely in the magnetometer at $A$ is twice that at $B$. If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at $B$ is $32 \times 10^{-6} \,T$, then its value at $A$ is

Two short magnets having magnetic moments in the ratio $27 : 8$,when placed on opposite sides of a deflection magnetometer,produce no deflection. If the distance of the weaker magnet is $0.12 \ m$ from the centre of the deflection magnetometer,the distance of the stronger magnet from the centre is.......$m$

Two magnets are held together in a vibration magnetometer and are allowed to oscillate in the Earth's magnetic field. With like poles of magnets together,$12$ oscillations per minute are made,but for unlike poles together,only $4$ oscillations per minute are executed. The ratio of their magnetic moments is
