As the percentage of steel increases
depth of neutral axis decreases
depth of neutral axis increases
lever arm increases
lever arm decreases
none of these.

Only option B is correct because the Neutral axis is compared with the critical Neutral axis to decide to decrease or increase. But the level arm is not compared with any critical level arm. In IS code definition of the critical level arm is not describe anywhere.

So, only option B is correct.

Because if steel is increased the tensile strength is increased manifold so large compressive force is required to counteract this force. Larger comp.force larger nu.depth.

If steel is increased in the tensile zone, then the neutral axis will move down in the beam, (depth of N-axis will increase).

With increase in % of steel, section tends to become over reinforced. And concrete tends to fail prior to steel.

@Ranjan they didn't ask EFFECTIVE DEPTH of the slab.

But they asked DEPTH OF NEUTRAL AXIS.

Xu (depth of N.A.) = 0.87fyAst/0.36fckb.
So, Xu proportional to Ast,
Increase with Ast.

PT% = 100 AST/BD.

Then the answer is option A.

Lever arm decrease and Neutral axis increases.

D can be correct as NA increase LA decreases.

Lever arm decreases.

So, Both are true.
