E=stress/strains, stress = F/A.
As in the problem said length and depth are the same but worth is different.
E1 = F/b1 * d1,
E2 = F/b2 * d2,d1 = d2,
E1/E2 = 1/2.

Strength is directly proportional to depth sq x width hence if depth is const. Width will vary. Thus exist linear rship.

A yield strength or yield point is the material property defined as the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Prior to the yield point, the material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed.

My = S * σy.
S = I / y.
So, I think the answer will be half.
S = I / y.
So, I think the answer will be half.

Elastic strength directly measure by the term of section modulus.
Than section modulus Z(A) = I(a)/y(a).
Z(A) = (BD^3/12)/(D/2).
= BD^2/6 ------------ equation (1).
Where B is breath and D is depth of rectangular section (A).
According to question B(a) = 2*B(b) in case of Rectangular Section.
Z(B) = (2B*D^3/12)/(D/2).
= BD^2/3.
Then, Z(A)/Z(B) = (BD^2/6)/(BD^2/3).
Z(A)/Z(B) = 1/2.
Z(B) = 2 Z(A).
Than section modulus Z(A) = I(a)/y(a).
Z(A) = (BD^3/12)/(D/2).
= BD^2/6 ------------ equation (1).
Where B is breath and D is depth of rectangular section (A).
According to question B(a) = 2*B(b) in case of Rectangular Section.
Z(B) = (2B*D^3/12)/(D/2).
= BD^2/3.
Then, Z(A)/Z(B) = (BD^2/6)/(BD^2/3).
Z(A)/Z(B) = 1/2.
Z(B) = 2 Z(A).

Elastic strength is directly proportional to section modulus. Z(B) = 2 Z(A)..
