264 MN
274 MN
284 MN

Explain this with formula.

Ans is C.

Find permissible stress[$] in steel first as:

Permissible stress in steel/permissible stress in concrete = Es/Ec.
Permissible stress in steel = 5 * 15Ec/Ec = 75.

Now solve:
P = 5 * (200 * 200 - 1200) + (1200 * 75) = 284000N = 284.

Sir. Plese tell me the correct answer with explanation.

MRINAL KANTI BISWAS said:   8 years ago
P = 5*(200*200-1200) + (1200*15) = 212000 N

So the answer is E.

P = 5 * {(40000 - 1200) + (1200 * 15)}.
