Magnetic field $\vec{B}=0.5 \hat{i}+3.0 \hat{j} T$

Magnetic moment $\mu=50 \hat{i} A m^{2}$

Torque on magnet $\tau$

$\tau=\mu \times \vec{B}=50 \hat{i} \times(0.5 \hat{i}+3.0 \hat{j})$

$\tau=150 \hat{k} N-m$

Hence, Torque experiences by the magnet present in the magnetic field,

$\tau=$ $150 \hat{k} N-m$
