As per IS 456 : 2000, the minimum reinforcement in the vertical and horizontal directions is 0.0012 and 0.0020 for deformed bars up to bar diameter 16 mm respectively while it is 0.0015 and 0.0025 for other types of bars.
Therefore (Minimum vertical reinforcement )/(Minimum horizontal reinforcement) =(0.0012 )/(0.0020 ) or( 0.0015 )/0.0025 = ( 3 )/5 i.e.. 3 : 5.
Therefore (Minimum vertical reinforcement )/(Minimum horizontal reinforcement) =(0.0012 )/(0.0020 ) or( 0.0015 )/0.0025 = ( 3 )/5 i.e.. 3 : 5.

For deformed bars up to 16mm dia.
Minimum vertical reinforcement = 0.12% of x-s/c area.
Minimum horizontal reinforcement = 0.20% of x-s/c area.
For mild steel,
Minimum vertical reinforcement = 0.15% of x-s/c area,
Minimum horizontal reinforcement = 0.25% of x-s/c area,
In either case, it comes out to be 3:5.
Minimum vertical reinforcement = 0.12% of x-s/c area.
Minimum horizontal reinforcement = 0.20% of x-s/c area.
For mild steel,

Minimum horizontal reinforcement = 0.25% of x-s/c area,

Option- D is correct.
.0012/.0020= 3/5.
.0012/.0020= 3/5.
