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.

Thanks for explaining in an uderstandable manner @Riyas.

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).

Then I = (b^3*h)/12.

And y = b/2.

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

How y=b/2?

Please explain that when section modulus bh2/6?

Thank you for the explanation.

Z= (Moment of Inertia )/(Depth of NA).
= (bh3/12)/(h/2)=bh2/6.
