(a) Magnets A and B are pulling equally on each other (Newton's Third Law). if A pulls on B with 100 N, then B also pulls on A with 100 N.
(b) The force of interaction between the magnets is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the distance between them, which is a consequence of the dipole-dipole nature of the interaction (for non-existent point magnetic charges, this force would, as usual, be inversely proportional to the square of the distance).
So,
