Answer is 500. I agree with the given answer.

Here, (√(1200-600)^2/2+400^2)^2 gives 500.

(t)max when d(ts)/d0 = 0.

tan20 = (sigma)x-(sigma)y/2(ts).
2thita = 36.86.

And we know (ts)=-1/2((sigma)x-(sigma)y)sin20+(txy)cos20.
After putting the values we get 143.041.

Please tell me whether it is correct or not?

(t)max = 1/2[(sigma1-sigma2)^2+4T^2]^1/2.

= 500 MPa.
