1/x = 3/(h-x).
x = h/4.
x = h/4.

By using the Critical neutral axis.
We know that
C/x = T/(h-x).
If:
C = compression = 1,
T = tension = 3,
1/x = 3/(h-x).
x = h/4.
Then the given answer is correct.

Here, x=h/4 from the bottom side of t- beam.
And x=3h/4 from the flange (top side) of the beam.
And x=3h/4 from the flange (top side) of the beam.

Yes, (3h/4) is correct when the applied moment is Sagging. Otherwise i.e., if the applied moment is Hogging it is (h/4). As in the options both are not given means we have to take the moment is Hog. If both are given there will be an ambiguity. So, in that case the type of moment have to given in the question.

From top x=3/4h.
From bottom x=1/4h.
From bottom x=1/4h.

I think the correct answer should be 3/4 h. But it is not given in the option.

How? Explain in detail.

3/x = 1/h-x
X= 3h/4 from top.
X= 3h/4 from top.

Thanks @Naveen.

Answer is correct. Because C.G. is moving towards more area and towards flange area is more.
