I want to solve this problem so I need help. The problem wants to determine which is in the direction (+) or (-) and value of torque. I think an answer: In the direction (-) and 5F.r

The total (positive) clockwise moment about the centre of the circle is $$3F\cdot r+2F\cdot2r-F\cdot r=6Fr$$
[Relative to the centre of the circle, the $3F$ and $2F$ are acting clockwise and the $F$ is acting anti-clockwise. The diagram indicates that clockwise is positive, so the total is positive.]
