How to avoid tension P/BL = 6Pe/BL^2?

I think the answer should be C.

Maximum option A and Minimum eccentricity option C.

Yes, right. I agree @Krishan.

All of the above given options are wrong.
The answer should be
BL = P/Q(1-6e/L)
The answer should be
BL = P/Q(1-6e/L)

To avoid tension reaction should be compressive all along with the structure so options A becomes rational.

I agree @Sarang.
In option C, If e is too large tension will develop on the footing. Therefore A is the answer. No chance of tension development.
We get two equations when we write stress balancing equation under the footing. One is A and the other is C.
So, the answer is A.

It should be B. From the point of unit conversion, it should give the units of the same on both sides.
As per conversion, it should option B. My analysis is subjected to correction.
