Why moment is taken as wl/4? Please explain to me.

Bending Stress=M(max)/Z
=(PL/4)/(I/y)
=(PL/4)/[(bd^3/12)/(d/2)]
=(PL/4)/[bd^2/6]
=3PL/2bd^2
Now,
Tensile Stress=P/A
=P/bd.

Since, according to question,
Bending Stress=Tensile Stress
PL/2bd^2=P/bd.
====> L/d=2/3

So, B is the correct Answer.

Mmax = wl/4.
Bending stress = M/z
Tensile stress = w/bd
z = bd2/6.
By solving & equating we will get the answer.
