Bearing capacity of soil= Axial stress + Bending Stress.
Q = P/A + M/Z.
Where, M= Moment = P * e.
Z= Section Modulus = BL^2/6 [For rectangular footing].
Therefore, Q = P/(BL) + Pe/(BL^2/6),
Q = P/(BL) + 6Pe/(BL^2),
Q = P/(BL)* [1+6e/L],
BL = P/Q*[1+6e/L].
Q = P/A + M/Z.
Where, M= Moment = P * e.
Z= Section Modulus = BL^2/6 [For rectangular footing].
Therefore, Q = P/(BL) + Pe/(BL^2/6),
Q = P/(BL) + 6Pe/(BL^2),
Q = P/(BL)* [1+6e/L],
BL = P/Q*[1+6e/L].

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)

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.

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

I think the answer should be C.

Maximum option A and Minimum eccentricity option C.

How this is possible? Please explain.

Yes, right. I agree @Krishan.

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