What magnetic pole will X become?

Answer 1

n   north

Answer 2

It will become a South (S-pole).

Using dipole theory of magnetism, as the N-pole of the stroking magnet is leaving, it will attract the S-pole of the mini magnets. Since it is stroking in a clockwise manner, and the N-pole is leaving X, then X must be a S-pole.
