In every equation for rectangular beam, there is a term variable/EI (I= bh^3/12) in the denominator, while the rest of variables change with loading conditions, therefore the given answer is correct.
(2)

As we know pure bending formula,

M/I =E/R ( particular).

Where 1/R= deflection.

So deflection is proportion to bending moment and inversely proportion to flexural rigidity (EI) where I for rectangle section is bd^3/12.
Hence, deflection is inversely proportioned to with and also a cube of its depth.

As per my knowledge, the answer will be (E). Because;

(a) not directly proportional to its weight but the load.
(b) I may be 1/12 db^3.
(c) same as (b).
(d) power of l changes with the load.

Loading condition is not given. We can't determine the deflection of any particular case. So, the right answer should be none of these.

C is correct. I agree with the given answer.

RAKESH said:   7 years ago
Only I=BD*3/12 will remain same in all condition of deflection. So, C option must be right.

Rahul said:   7 years ago
But depth effect will be more on deflection as (d^3).
So, it is C.

AKV said:   7 years ago
A is correct.

Because weight will act as load.

Azzu said:   7 years ago
As per my knowledge, the answer should be B and C.

I think 'E' option should be 'ALL OF THESE'.
