Due to segment lthe magnetıc field at the point O is zero because the point lies on the axis of the wire segment 1 . So B1 = 0 Segment 2 is in the shape of a semi circle. The magnetic field at point O due to the semicircle is given by B2=μ0I4r.
The magnetic field at point O due to segment 3 is same as the magnetic field due to a semi infinite wire. So the magnetic field due to segment 3 at point O is B3=μ0I4πr.
If we move along the wire and use the right hand thumb rule for each of the segment, we will know that the direction of magnetic field at point O is outwards. Hence, the net magnetic field at the point O is

Bnet=B1+B2+B3=μ0I4r +μ0I4πr
