Detailed Solution

If a wire carries current along positive x-axis, then the magnetic field due to it along the line y = x in first quadrant is upwards. If a wire carries current along positive y-axis, then the magnetic field due to it along the line y = x in first quadrant is downwards. Along the line y = x, above two values of magnetic field are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction and thus, their resultant is zero.
