B = μ0 n I = 4 π * 10-7 * 1000 * 4 = 5 * 10-3 T.
Q = 2000 * (8 * 10-4) * (5 * 10-3) / 60 = 1.33 * 10-4 C

Q = Φ / R = B A N / R?
Right.

That should be 1.34*10-4..
Use sensitivity of the galvanometer to find the number of divisions.

Use sensitivity of the galvanometer to find the number of divisions.
θ = a Q = 2 * 1.34 * 10-4 = 2.68 * 10-4.

Well, 1.34*10-4 is the actual charge passed through the galvanometer. You have sensitivity as 2 divisions/ microcoulomb. How would you calculate the no of divisions from this?

θ = a Q = deflections of the galvanometer.

Update
1.34 * 10-4 C → 1.34 * 10-4 / 10-6 = 134 μC.

134 * 2 = 268. I think this should be right.

Right.
