(d) Initially for circular coil $L = 2\pi r$ and $M = i \times \pi {r^2}$
$ = i \times \pi {\left( {\frac{L}{{2\pi }}} \right)^2} = \frac{{i{L^2}}}{{4\pi }}$ ..... $(i)$
Finally for square coil $M' = i \times {\left( {\frac{L}{4}} \right)^2} = \frac{{i{L^2}}}{{16}}$ ..... $(ii)$
Solving equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$ $M' = \frac{{\pi M}}{4}$
