Section Modulus Z=I/ymax in general I= bd3/12 in this problem d=b ,b=h.

The loading is in a plane parallel to the side b. ymax= b/2, Z= hb3/12/b/2 =b2h/6.

Here in the question, it is written that load is in the "plane parallel to side b". Neutral axis should be parallel to b and the correct answer should be option B.

Thank all.

I think, option B is correct.

Loading is parallel to side b then neural axis is perpendicular to side b, I about n.a ( n.a is the axis parallel to bending direction by right-hand thumb rule ) when the plane of loading is symmetry.

Thanks for all the given explanation.

The correct Answer must be (bd3/12)/(d/2) which means bd2/6.
