Please explain that when section modulus bh2/6?

How y=b/2?

Section modulus is the ratio of MOI of N.A & Distance from NA from the extreme stressed fibre.
Here NA plays the main role. The load applied in the face of Length x depth. This face elongated & opposite face compressed. So, NA will lie in between this. That means NA will pass perpendicular to width. so MOI will be b^3.d/12.

Distance from n.a. to extreme stressed fibre is b/2.

In general terms b= width and d or h = depth or height respectively. When loading is applied we consider bd^3/12 (hear loading is parallel to depth) and y=d/2.

Hear in this problem,

Parallel to width is asked making it shifting terms from width as depth (assume that u have rotated your beam)
So hear instead of bd^3 /12 and y=d/2.
V get db^3/12 and y= b/2.
Making Z=I/Y as db^2/6.

Thanks for explaining in an uderstandable manner @Riyas.

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

Thanks for all the given explanation.

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.

I think, option B is correct.
