since point $P$ lies on axis of straight part ab, therefore, magnetic induction due to this part is equal to zero.

For part $bc:$ From fig

$r=R \cos 45^{\circ}$

since both the ends $b$ and $c$ are on the same side of normal $\mathrm{PN}$, therefore, $\alpha$ is negative and $\beta$ is positive. Hence, $\alpha=-45^{\circ}$ and $\beta=+90^{\circ}$

Using $B=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{4 \pi r}(\sin \alpha+\sin \beta),$ we have $B=\frac{(\sqrt{2}-1) \mu_{0} I}{4 \pi R}$
