Solution:

Magnitude of magnetic field will be same for both the points as they are located at equal distance from the wire. But the direction of magnetic field can be determined by right hand thumb rule.
Solution
Since and are two points that lie on a counterclockwise circle centered at , we can draw tangents to find magnetic field on both the points which will come out to be in opposite direction as can also be seen in the diagram.
