Given below are two statements:
Statement $(I)$: When currents vary with time,Newton's third law is valid only if momentum carried by the electromagnetic field is taken into account.
Statement $(II)$: Ampere's circuital law does not depend on Biot-Savart's law.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two similar coils each of radius $R$ are lying concentrically with their planes at right angles to each other. The currents flowing in them are $I$ and $2I$. The resultant magnetic field of induction at the centre will be ($\mu_0 =$ Permeability of vacuum).

$A$ current of $1\,A$ is flowing through the sides of an equilateral triangle of side $4.5\times10^{-2}\,m$. The magnetic field at the centre of the triangle will be

The magnetic induction at the centre of a current-carrying circular coil of radius $8 \ cm$ is $6 \sqrt{6}$ times the magnetic induction at a point on its axis. Then the distance of the point from the centre of the coil in $cm$ is $(\sqrt{5} = 2.236)$.
