The correct answer is: 90 mH
Self-inductance of a coil $=\frac{N \phi_B}{I}$
$$
=\frac{N \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 R} \times \pi R^2}{I}=\frac{\pi \mu_0}{2} \cdot N R
$$
So,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{L_2}{L_1}=\frac{N_2}{N_1} \\
& L_2=L_1 \times \frac{N_2}{N_1}=108 \times \frac{500}{600}=90 \mathrm{mH}
\end{aligned}
$$
