b/d
d/b

@All.

We have to always consider Change/Old.

Lokesh said:   3 years ago
In the case of simply supported, deflection =pl^3/48EI.

So, from this, we can conclude deflection is inversely proportional to I,
So simply, X2/X1=db^3/bd^3= (b/d) ^2.

Is it Old /New or New/Old?

Leka said:   5 years ago
Option D is correct.

Wl^2/16EI(old)÷Wl^2/16EI(new),
=1/I(old) ÷1/I(new),
=I(new) ÷ I(old),
=(b^3 * d)/(b*d^3),
=(b/d)^2.

Option D is correct. Because deflection is inversely proportional to I. So, the value is getting after reversing.

Option c is correct. I new/I old should be done because to compute the change.

Neel said:   7 years ago
According to me, Option C is right.

I agree @Abhash Poudel.

I agree @Himzz. Option C is the right answer.

I old /I new.
= db^3/bd^3,
= (b/d)^2.

Because I is at the bottom and it will revers.
