Minimum width of stair 90 cm.
so minimum width of the waist will be 90cm.
Right answer 90 cm.

Spanning horizontally is nothing but considering the design as a horizontal slab. Waist slab is the minimum distance of the stair upper surface to the lower slab bottom. That can be decided by the design. But for an RCC minimum slab width must be greater than 3.5 inches so we can say 80 mm.

The waist slab always 150mm,
So 120mn right answer.

80mm is the right answer.

@Ali Baloch.

Spanning horizontally means horizontal member length and waist slab is that on which rise and tread constructed.
