If the length of a combined footing for two columns l metres apart is L and the projection on the left side of the exterior column is x, then the projection y on the right side of the exterior column, in order to have a uniformly distributed load, is (where x is the distance of centre of gravity of column loads).
y = L - (l - x)

I think the answer is D but l should be l/2.

My solution is;

x + (x,bar) =L/2.
y = L - (l - x),
y = L - (l - { (L/2) - (x,bar)},
y = L - l + (L/2) + (x,bar),
y = 3/2L - l + (x,bar).
