Solution

The correct option is A B=μ04πIR(πˆi+2ˆk)
Given situation is shown in the figure.


Parallel wires 1 and 3 are semi-infinite, so magnetic field at O due to them
B1=B3=μ0I4πRˆk
Magnetic field ar O due to semi-circular are in YZ-plane is given by
B2=μ0I4Rˆi
Net magnetic field at point O is given by
B=B1+B2+B3=μ0I4πRˆkμ0I4Rˆiμ0I4πRˆk=μ0I4πR(πˆi+2ˆk)
