The figure shows certain wire segments joined together to form a coplanar loop. The loop is placed in a perpendicular
magnetic field in the direction going into the plane of the figure. The magnitude of the field increases with time. I1 and I2 are the currents in the segments ab and cd. Then,

magnetic field in the direction going into the plane of the figure. The magnitude of the field increases with time. I1 and I2 are the currents in the segments ab and cd. Then,

Solution:
Cross ⊗ magnetic field passing from the closed loop is increasing. Therefore, from Lenz's law induced current will product dot⊙ magnetic field. Hence, induced current is anticlockwise.
