According to the cross product, the force on the wire will be to the right because of wire B and to the right because of wire A. Therefore, the sum of the two forces will result in a force that is toward the right, or toward the 40 A current-carrying wire.
Additionally, we are aware that parallel wires carrying current in the same direction attract one another while those carrying current in the opposite way repel one another. That rule also leads to a net force of 40 A flowing in the direction of wire B.
