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.

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.

According to me option C is right, as first we always take I = bd^3/12 and then db^3/12 which gives us the ratio (d/b)^2.

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

pl^3/48EI = (pl^3.12)/(48E.bd^3).

pl^3/48EI = (pl^3.12)/(48E.db^3).

db^3/bd^3 = (b/d)^2.

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

Because I is at the bottom and it will revers.

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

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

@All.

We have to always consider Change/Old.

Rishabh said:   10 years ago
Ratio of old/new will give I new/I old.
