Detailed Solution

Magnetic field is proportional to current. Applying this idea, and keeping the directions of current in mind, we write B·dl over all 4 segments due to both wires.

B·dlABBCCDDA
P-μ0-2μ0-μ0-2μ0
Q2μ04μ02μ04μ0

Adding all the 8 contributions gives,

B·dl=6μ0=Iμ0

So, the value of I will be 6 amperes
