Detailed Solution

This force will act along z axis so, ILB is Z axis.
The expression of force is F= I (× B)
The angle between  FE and B is 1800
BA and B is 0
For both of these × B=0
The angle between ED and B is 900
Force on ED is ×  B=ILB sin 900
                                      =ILB
The angle between CB and B is 2700
Force on CBis ×  B=ILB sin 2700
                                    =-ILB
The force on ED or CB acts perpendicular to both ED and B or CB or Btowards x-axis. These two factors cancel each other as they act opposite
The angle between DC and B is 900
Force on  DC is × B=ILB sin 900 
                                      =ILB
this force will act along z axis so, ILB is Z axis.
