Solution

The correct option is A μ0i8r
Magnetic field due to semicircular outer loop at center of the loop,
Bouter=12μ0i22r
=μ0i8r
where 2r is the radius of the outer loop. A factor of 12 is multiplied since μ0i22r is the field due to circular outer loop.
Magnetic field due to the inner circular loop has two halves carrying current in the opposite direction
Binner=0 since magnetic field due to one half cancels that due to other half.
