The correct answer is: 8 A
 
The bar magnet coercivity 4×103 A m-1 i.e., it requires a magnetic intensity H=4×103 A m-1to get demagnetised. Let i be the current carried by solenoid having n number of turns per metre length, then by definition H = ni. Here H=4×103 A m-1

n=Nl=600.12=500 m-1

i=Hn=4×103500=8.0 A
