It should be middle half rule since by taking putting y=-d/2 in the overall stress due to be bending and compression we get e<d/4.

The answer is correct Middle Third rule is for rectangle Middle Fourth rule also known as a middle Quarter rule for circular section.

The answer is correct just equate P/A =M/z and where M=p.e, therefore, e=z/A comes out and e=eccentricity and z section modulus and A is the area of cross-section.

The middle-third rule states that no tension is developed in a wall or foundation if the resultant force lies within the middle third of the structure.

(For circular foundations a different rule, known as the Middle Quarter Rule applies).
