Alevel physics aqa magentic fields question

for a situation in which a charged particle will experience no magnetic force when placed in a magnetic field, does 'if there are two magnetic fields acting and the resultant magnetic field is 0, the charged particles will feel no magnetic force' count?
Is that a correct viable answer. Alevel physics aqa
if not can someone explain why please?
Thank you

The particle is either stationary (F = Bqv where v=0) or moving parallel to the magnetic field lines(F = BILcos(90) where cos(90) = 0).
If the question does not mention a second magnetic field then your answer may be irrelevant to the question...?
