Question

If a magnet is kept in magnetic meridian with its north pole pointing north, then number of neutral points will be

Answer 1

The neutral point in the magnetic field is where the magnet is completely neutralized by the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field.  If the magnet is kept such that its north pole is pointing towards the north pole of the earth then the magnetic lines will form in a way that there will be only two points horizontally across the magnet thus only Two neutral points are found  laying on the equatorial  line of the magnet.
