Hint: In this question use the concept that the circular wire loop placed inside the long circular tube will behave as a solenoid, so use the direct formula for the magnetic field due to a solenoid that is B=μonI. Use the concept of magnetic flux that is ϕ=BA, along with the Lenz law e=dϕdt, this will help approaching the solution of this problem.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given data:
Length of long circular tube = 10m
Radius of the long circular tube = 0.3m
Carries a current I along its curved surface as shown in the figure.
Now a wire-loop is placed inside the tube with its axis coinciding with the axis of the tube.
Having loop resistance R = 0.005 Ohm
And radius (r) of the loop = 0.1m
The current varies as I=Iocos(300t), where Io is constant.
Now if the magnetic moment of the loop is NμoIosin(300t)................. (1)
So we have to find the value of N.
Now as we know that the magnetic field generated in the solenoid (circular ring behaves as a solenoid)
B=μonI
Where, μo=permeability of the free space
               n = number of turns per unit length = (NL)
   B=μonI=μoNIL
Here N=1 as there is only a single circular turn.
B=μoIL
Now the flux passing through the circular coil is given as
ϕ=BA, where ϕ = magnetic flux, A = area of the circular loop = πr2
ϕ=μoIL(πr2)
Now according to Lenz law induced e.m.f in the coil is
e=dϕdt
Now substitute the value we have,
e=ddt(μoIL(πr2))
Now in the above equation only I is variable and remaining all things are constant w.r.t time so we have,
e=μoπr2LdIdt
Now the induced current (i) in the coil according to ohm's law we have,
i=eR, where R = resistance of the coil.
i=μoπr2LRdIdt
Now the magnetic moment (M) of the coil is the product of the induced current (i) and the area (A) of the coil so we have,
M=iA
Now substitute the values we have,
M=μoπr2LRdIdt(πr2)
M=μoπ2r4LRdIdt
Now the current is varying as I=Iocos(300t)
M=μoπ2r4LRddt(Iocos(300t))
Now differentiate it according to rule ddtcoswt=wsinwt so we have,
M=300μoπ2r4LR(Iosin(300t))
M=300π2r4LRμoIosin(300t)
Now compare this equation from equation (1) we have,
M=NμoIosin(300t)=300π2r4LRμoIosin(300t)
So on comparing we have,
N=300π2r4LR
Now substitute the values we have,
N=300(227)2(0.1)410×0.005
Now simplify this we have,
N=0.6(227)2=5.9266
So this is the required answer.

Note – A solenoid is simply a coil of wire carrying current. It is in the cylindrical form and has turns associated with it. The magnetic field produced due to this solenoid is directly affected by the number of turns present in that solenoid. The trick part of this problem was understanding why the cylindrical coil and circular wire assembly is taken as solenoid.
