Detailed Solution

Magnetic field for infinitely long cylinder at a distance r is given as
 Bin=μ0Jr2 Bout=μ0Ja22r
 Assuming bigger cylinder to carry a positive current density and smaller cylinder has a negative current density of magnitude of J then magnetic field P is given as 
  Bp=B1+B2
Where  B1=μ0Ja2
And  B2=μ0J(a2)22.3a2=μ0Ja12
 Bp=512μ0Ja N=5
