Solution
A is true but B is false.
If the magnetic field is increased, magnetisation of paramagnetic material placed in magnetic field is also increases. Hence, option (a) is correct.
Magnetization (I) is given by,
\[\overrightarrow{I} = \frac{\overrightarrow{M}}{V}\]
As the temperature is increased, magnetic moments of paramagnetic material becomes more randomly aligned due to incresed thermal motion. This leads decrease in the magnetization I.
