$${{{\mu _0}I} \over {4\pi r}}(2 - \pi )$$
$${{{\mu _0}I} \over {2\pi r}}(2 - \pi )$$
$${{{\mu _0}I} \over {4\pi r}}(2 + \pi )$$
$${{{\mu _0}I} \over {2\pi r}}(2 + \pi )$$

Explanation

$$B = {{{\mu _0}I} \over {4\pi r}} + {{{\mu _0}I} \over {4\pi r}} + {{{\mu _0}I} \over {4r}}$$

$$ = {{{\mu _0}I} \over {2\pi r}} + {{{\mu _0}I} \over {4r}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$B = {{{\mu _0}I} \over {4\pi r}}(2 + \pi )$$
