Why is ans d?? In amperes law I is enclosed current but here i1and i2 is not enclosed

Dear Student,
Consider the amperian loop ABCA, then from Ampere's circuital law:
B.dl = μo(i1+i3)
Since, i1 and i3 are both in the direction of the area vector for the surface ABCA.

Consider the Amperian loop ACDA, then from Ampere's circuital law:
B.dl = μo(i2-i3)
Since, i2 is in the direction and i3 is opposite to the direction of the area vector for the surface ACDA .
Thus,
For the entire loop ABCDA:
B.dl = μo(i1+i3)+μo(i2-i3)=μo(i1+i2).
Ans (D)

Regards
