Would your answer change, if the circular coil in (a) were replaced by a planar coil of some irregular shape that encloses of the same area ? (All other particular are also unaltered).

From the formula, it is clear that torque on the loop does not depend on the shape if area remains constant, So, the torque remains constant.
