Answer #1

Data from both the limbs (different colored planes on the plot)have been plotted in the stereonet and the intersection of the planes representing the limbs have been determined. This line of intersection gives the orientation of the fold axis.

Orientation of the fold axis 30°➡️90°(Plunge 30°, trend of the axis 90°)
