Let the two current carrying wire be respectively in x-axis and y-axis of cartesian coordinate system.
 
Current flows in +ve x-axis direection in the wire that is placed on x-axis.
 
Current flows in -ve y-axis direction in the other wire that is placed y-axis.
 
Directions of magnetic field for both the wires in all four quadrants are shown in figure.
 
It can be seen that second and fourth quadrants have magnetic fields in opposite direction .
 
if currents are equal, then magntiude of magnetic field at a point depends on the perpendicular distance from the point to wire.
 
Hence the blue line AB that subtends 45o with the axes have equi-distant points from axes .
 
Hence along the blue line AB , magnetic fields due to both the wire cancel each other .
 
Hence along the blue line AB, we have zero magnetic field.

in this quesn correct answer are give 1,2,3. but in 2,3 magnetic field is a vector quantity. so to make it same at 2 points we need direction and magnitude to be same. But in case of straight wire magnitude can be same at a radius but the direction cant be same. So how 2 and 3 are correct AND 4 should be correct because in formula B is inversely prop to r are the answers given wrong ?

I have one more doubt in the previous question I asked.  Doubt: In the figure, what will be the net magnetic field between the wires on the point of intersection. (I think the direction of the magnetic fields due to the two wires won't be opposite on the point of intersection between the wires so, the net magnetic field should not be zero there..)
