    R = 31.9 x 10^ (6) At/Wb

    So option A is correct

    Explanation:

    Reluctance is obtained by dividing the length of the magnetic path L by the permeability times the cross-sectional area A

    Thus; R = L/μA,

    Now from the question,

    L = 4m

    r_1 = 1.75cm = 0.0175m

    r_2 = 2.2cm = 0.022m

    So Area will be A_2 - A_1

    Thus = π (r_2) ² - π (r_1) ²

    A = π (0.0225) ² - π (0.0175) ²

    A = π[0.0002]

    A = 6.28 x 10^ (-4) m²

    We are given that;

    L = 4m

    μ_steel = 2 x 10^ (-4) Wb/At - m

    Thus, reluctance is calculated as;

    R = 4 / (2 x 10^ (-4) x 6.28x 10^ (-4))

    R = 0.319 x 10^ (8) At/Wb

    R = 31.9 x 10^ (6) At/Wb
