Detailed Solution

When a north pole of  a bar magnet is facing south , null points are obtained on axial line
     Given : Ba=BH,   BH=0.4G=4×105T  ,  M=1.28×102  Am2

We know, at axis , BH=μ04π2Md3

4×105=107×2×1.28×102d3 d3=2×1.284×104

d3=64×106 d=4×102m=4cm
The distance between two null points 
         2d=8cm
