Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Every magnet has a magnetic field around that magnet and which is represented by magnetic lines of force. Magnetic lines of force start from the north pole, end with the south pole outside the magnet and go from the south pole to the north pole inside the magnet. Near the poles, the density of the magnetic field lines is higher, and the magnetic force is stronger near poles. When the two magnets are placed with their like poles facing each other, the lines of force are in opposite directions; therefore, like poles repel each other. When the unlike poles of a magnet face each other, the magnetic lines of force are in the same direction; therefore, unlike poles attract each other.
