This is if both magnets are of equal value.

The forces are equal and opposite in polarity.
The pull with same force they attract. If you could add that together, they would just be two neutral blocks, attracted only by the force of their gravities.

force of attraction or repulsion = (1/(4*pi*epsilon)) *m1*m2/r^2
where m1 and m2 are magnetic pole strengths.
since both the pole strengths are of equal value both attractive and repulsive force will be the same value except the difference of attraction and repulsion between the two magnets.

All other factors being equal, they are the same. When you change polarity you are doing nothing more than changing which parts of the magnetic field are interacting with each other.

both will b same provided that distance is same between magnets in both case

They should be the same
