The correct answer is: 0.67 mA
Case I: K1 is closed for long time, 



for a long time, the inductor acts as a conducting wire,  current in the circuit =VR = 1 5 1 5 0 i0=0.1 A
Case II: K1 is open and K2 is closed



Current in the circuit, i=i0e-tτ;  τ=LR

After t=1 ms=10-3 s

i=i0e-10-3×1503×10-2 = 0.1 e - 1 5 3 =0.11e5=0.1150 A=0.67 mA.
