Detailed Solution

The magnetic forces acing on the three sides of the triangle are as follows:
FCD=0 as CD is parallel to B
FAC=ilBsin 60=32ilB (Perpendicular to the plane of diagram and outwards) as the side AC makes an angle 60° with B.
FAD=ilBsin 120=32ilB (Perpendicular to the plane of diagram and outwards) as the side AD makes an angle 120° with B.
Therefore, net force on the loop is
F=0+32ilB+32ilB=3ilB perpendicular to the plane of the loop, outwards.
