Detailed Solution

Substituting dimensions in given dimensional expression of magnetic field, we have
[B]=[e]α[me]β[h]γ[k]δ          [M1T2A1]=[AT]α[m]β[ML2T1]γ[ML3A2T4]δ                M1T2A1=mβ+γ+δL2r+3δTαγ4δAα25
Comparing dimensions in LHS and RHS gives
β+γ+δ=1           2γ+3δ=0       αγ4δ=2         α2δ=1
Solving above equations, we get
α=3, β=2, γ=3, δ=2             α+β+γ+δ=4
