The correct answer is:
$\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi R}(\pi+1)$
Magnetic field due to long wire at $O$ point
$$B_{1}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi}\left(\frac{l}{R}\right)$$(upward)
Magnetic field due to loop at $O$ point
$B_{2}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{I \cdot 2 \pi R}{R^{2}}$ $\Rightarrow B_{2}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{2} \cdot \frac{I}{R} \quad$ (in upward direction) Resultant magnetic field at centre $O$ $B=B_{1}+B_{2}$ $\Rightarrow B=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi \cdot R}(\pi+1) T$
Resultant magnetic field at centre $O$
$$B_{1}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi}\left(\frac{l}{R}\right)$$(upward)
Magnetic field due to loop at $O$ point
