Two long parallel wires carrying currents $8 \text{ A}$ and $15 \text{ A}$ in opposite directions are placed at a distance of $7 \text{ cm}$ from each other. $A$ point $P$ is equidistant from both the wires such that the lines joining the point $P$ to the wires are perpendicular to each other. The magnetic field at $P$ is $X \times 10^{-6} \text{ T}$. Find $X$. (Given: $\sqrt{2} = 1.4, \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ SI unit}$)
