For cylinder; 

B=μ0ir2πR2;r<a =μ0i2πr;r>a

We can consider the given cylinder as a combination of two cylinders. One of radius ‘R’ carrying current I in one direction and other of radius  R2 carrying current  I3  in both directions.
At point A:
B=μ0(I3)2π(R2)+0=μ0I3πR

At point B:

B=μ0(4I3)2(πR2)(R2)+0=μ0I3πR
