Question

two magnets are placed next to each other. they immediately move away from each other. what can you say about these magnets? it is impossible to tell the location of their poles. the north pole of one magnet and the south pole of the other are next to each other. their north poles are next to each other or their south poles are next to each other

Explanation:

Magnets have two poles, North (N) and South (S). The basic rule of magnetism is that like poles repel (N - N or S - S) and unlike poles attract (N - S). Since the two magnets move away from each other (repel), it means the poles next to each other are like poles.

Answer:

Their North poles are next to each other or their South poles are next to each other.
