From Chapter 16, the relationship between magnetomotive force and flux is

\mathcal{F}=\phi \mathcal{R}

Also, the magnetomotive force is related to the current i by

\mathcal{F}=N i=100 \times 2=200 \mathrm{~A} \cdot \mathrm{t}

which means that the reluctance is

\mathcal{R}=\frac{\mathcal{F}}{\phi}=\frac{200}{1 \times 10^{-3}}=200,000 \frac{\mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{t} \cdot \mathrm{in}^{2}}{\mathrm{~Wb}}

Therefore, the answer is b.
