The correct answer is: $8 \times 10^{-4}$
The correct option is (A).
Concept: Magnetic induction $\mathrm{B}=\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{A}}$,
The permeability is the ratio of magnetic induction and the magnetic field $\mu=\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{H}}$.
Therefore, permeability can be written as $\mu=\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{AH}}$
Given values are, $\mathrm{A}=0.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2$ and $\phi=2.4 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~Wb}$
$B=\frac{\phi}{A}=\frac{\left(2.4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~Wb}\right)}{\left(0.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\right)}=0.8 \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^2$
Therefore, $\mu=\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{H}}=\frac{0.8}{1000}=8 \times 10^{-4}$
