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.

B, because the moment of inertia and section modulus are cross-section properties, not loading properties; i.e., they do not depend upon loading.

Section modulus for the rectangular section is 1/6 bd^2. ie I/y.
I = bd^3/12.
Y = d/2 bd^2/6.

Then, how the answer is option C.

Section modulus = I/y(max).

Here the load is parallel to the width b so,
I = (b^3*h)/12.

And y = b/2.

Then z = (b^2*h)/6.

Section modulus = I/Y (this is max).

Moment of inertia (I) = (d*b^3)/12.

= (h*b^3)/12.

In this problem width = b.

Depth d = h.

And y = b/2.

:- Z= ( (h*b^3)/12)/(b/2).

Z = (h*b^2)/6.

Z = I/Y(max.) I = bd^3/12 ;

y(max.) = d/2 load is parallel to side b then b=h and d=b ;

Z = hb^3/12/b/2 ;

Z = hb^2/6.

We know,

Z = I/Y [where, y=y(max)].
But, I = db^3/12.
y = b/2.

Now, Z = 2db^3/12d,
= db^2/6 [A/C to question d=h],
Z = hb^2/6.

Can somebody explain me "plane parallel to side b"?
