Please explain that what is y and how y = b/2?
And how calculation is z = {(h*b^3/12)/(b/2).

It says parallel to the plan b, that means.

I = bh^3/12.
y = b/2,
Hence Z= b^2h/6.

Section modules (z) =I/Y.

MOMENT OF INERTIA (I) =B^3h/12.

Y = b/2.

Therefore = Z = I/Y = B^2h/6.

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.

We are using different methods but same concept. So your process is correct no comment.

If b is width and h is height then section of modulus.

z = I/Y ; I = hb^3/12 and y = b/2 then.

z = (hb^3/12)/(b/2).

Then z = (b^2/6) is answer. Because the load is in a plane to the side b.

Section modulus = I/Ymax.

Here I = h*b^3/12.

And Ymax = b/2, then section modulus= (h*b^3/12)/(b/2) = h*b^2/6.

(hb^3)% (0.5b) = (hb^2%6).

Its like load is normal to height h which means parallel to b.

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