The correct answer is: 250 μT
Given, radius of coil, a=6 cm

=6×10-2 m

Distance, r=8 cm

=8×10-2 m

Magnetic field on the axis of current (I) carrying coil,

B1=μ0Ia22a2+r232 ...(i)

Magnetic field on the centre of coil

B2=μ0I2a ...(ii)

Dividing Equation (ii) by Equation (i), we get

B2B1=μ0I2aμ0Ia22a2+r23/2 

=a2+r23/2a3

=6×10-22+8×10-223/26×10-23

 B2B1=4.63

B2=4.63×B1

=4.63×54 μT

=250 μT
