The correct answer is: $2 \%$
Given,
Susceptibility of material, $\chi_m=2 \times 10^{-2}$
Using $\mu_{\mathrm{r}}=1+\chi_{\mathrm{m}}=1+0.02=1.02$
$\mathrm{B}_{\text {final }}=\mu_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{B}_0$ (here, $\mathrm{B}_0=$ initial magnetic field)
$\%$ increase in magnetic field
$=\frac{\mathrm{B}_{\text {final }}-\mathrm{B}_0}{\mathrm{~B}_0} \times 100=\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{B}_0-\mathrm{B}_0 \times 100}{\mathrm{~B}_0}$
$=\frac{(\chi+1)-1 \times 100}{1}=0.02 \times 100=2 \%$
