The correct answer is: $3.3 \times 10^{-4}$
Magnetic susceptibility,

$\chi=\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{H}}$

where, $\mathrm{I}=\frac{\text { Magnetic moment }}{\text { Volume }}=\frac{20 \times 10^{-6}}{10^{-6}}=20 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$

Now , $\chi=\frac{20}{60 \times 10^{3}}=\frac{1}{3} \times 10^{-3}=3.3 \times 10^{-4}$
