The effective throat thickness in case of incomplete penetration butt weld is taken as 7/8th of the thickness of the thinner part joined.
But for the purpose of stress calculation, a required effective throat thickness not exceeding 5/8th of the thickness of thinner part joined should be used.

5/8th is for design purpose.
Answer 7/8th is also correct as it is limiting value.
