It will be 1/3rd of the base OR 1/6th of the base on either side of the centroid.

1/4 is correct.

For avoid tensile stresses eccentricity < b/6.

ANSWER: E. One-sixth of the base on either side of the centroid.
MIDDLE THIRD RULE FOR RECTANGULAR SECTION The range within which the load may be applied so as not to produce tensile stress anywhere in the section is within the middle third of depth Limiting eccentricity 6/40.

For rectangular column.
limit of eccentricity=z/a ,z=bd3/12*d/2.
A=b*d.
:For rectangular column, e=d/6.
For circular column, e=d/8(by z/A).
limit of eccentricity=z/a ,z=bd3/12*d/2.
A=b*d.
:For rectangular column, e=d/6.
For circular column, e=d/8(by z/A).
