Correct explanation @Barish.

Option A is the answer because if it is mentioned that it is a secondary r/f then the correct answer is 450 but here it is main r/f.

Not more means maximum value so acc. To IS 456:2000 it is 45cm.

The answer is wrong.

As per IS 456-2000 Clause 26.3.3 [b (1)], horizontal distance between parallel main R/f bars must be smaller of the foll:

1. 3 times effective depth i.e. 3 x 15 cm = 45 cm.

2. 30 cm.

So, correct answer is [A] 30 cm.

No, 45 is right answer. See question is should NOT BE MORE.

Arun Kumar said:   7 years ago
30 cm is correct because we always take smaller value.

Ankit raj said:   7 years ago
45 is correct. I agree with the given answer.

Utsav said:   7 years ago
45 is correct that's why they have mentioned the depth of the slab.
