The correct answer is: $3.6$
$n_2=n_1\left[\left(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right)^a\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^b\left(\frac{T_1}{T_2}\right)^c\right]$
Dimensions of force is [ $\mathrm{M} \mathrm{L} \mathrm{T}^{-2}$ ]
$a=1, b=1, c=-2$
$\begin{aligned} n_2 & =100\left[\left(\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{kg}}\right)^1\left(\frac{\mathrm{cm}}{\text { metre }}\right)^1\left(\frac{\mathrm{sec}}{\mathrm{min}}\right)^{-3}\right] \\ & =100\left[\frac{\mathrm{g}}{100 \mathrm{~g}} \times \frac{\mathrm{cm}}{100 \mathrm{~cm}} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{sec}}{60 \mathrm{sec}}\right)^{-2}\right] \\ & =100\left[\frac{1}{1000} \times \frac{1}{100} \times(60)^2\right] \\ & =100 \times \frac{1}{1000} \times \frac{1}{100} \times 3600=3.6\end{aligned}$
