Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Iron fillings are ferromagnetic materials, so as we know the ferromagnetic materials respond to the applied magnetic field.

If a bar magnet placed in a place, it will create magnetic field in its nearest region, then the iron fillings will be arranged as in the below figure.
