The two wires carry current in opposite directions: this means that if we see them from above, the magnetic field generated by one wire is clock-wise, while the magnetic field generated by the other wire is anti-clockwise. Therefore, if we take a point midway between the two wires, the resultant magnetic field at this point is just the sum of the two magnetic fields, since they act in the same direction.
Therefore, we should calculate the magnetic field generated by each wire and then calculate their sum. We are located at a distance r=0.10 m from each wire.
The magnetic field generated by wire 1 is:
[tex]B_1= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(20 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}= 4 \cdot 10^{-5}T[/tex]
The magnetic field generated by wire 2 is:
[tex]B_2= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}= \frac{(4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} )(5.0 A)}{2 \pi (0.10 m)}= 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T[/tex]
And so, the resultant magnetic field at the point midway between the two wires is
[tex]B=B_1 + B_2 = 4 \cdot 10^{-5} T + 1 \cdot 10^{-5}T=5 \cdot 10^{-5} T[/tex]
