(c) Force on wire $C$ due to wire $D$
${F_D} = {10^{ - 7}} \times \frac{{2 \times 30 \times 10}}{{2 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}} \times 25 \times {10^{ - 2}} = 5 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,N$

Force on wire $C$ due to wire $G$
${F_G} = {10^{ - 7}} \times \frac{{2 \times 20 \times 10}}{{2 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}} \times 25 \times {10^{ - 2}} = 5 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,N$
