the statement is wrong. the right one is the resultant force per unit length is actually acted on Y not on X. it's a mistake in typing the question. sorry. so how to determine the direction whether it's right or wrong?

from the question a, i need to know the direction whether it is right or wrong. so, fron the diagram itself we can know whether it is right or wrong. but i don't know how. i cannot determine the direction by using calculation because how can i know the equation have to use minus or addition.
so, you minus the Fy and Fz because it is in different direction? what do you mean by the 2 current must in opposite direction? which current that you mean? X and Y or X and Z?
do you think it make sense if I said the "towards X" in the statement means the direction of force on X by Z? because it is impossible for the force on X by Y to be towards X as the current is in different direction. what do you think?
