There is no clarity in question, here it should mention which type of beam is loaded.

For cantilever beam "bottom layer".

For ss beam "top layer".

May be:.

"When a rectangular beam is loaded transversely".

Load = rectangular beam.

Rectangular beam is made to load transversely (vertically) on a surface (longitudinal axis).

Then "the maximum compressive stress is developed on the [A]. Bottom layer".

As, I think top fibre is the most suitable answer.

Himanshu said:   9 years ago
According to me, question is insufficient because the loading condition is not given that is it a simply supported of cantilever.

RAVI said:   9 years ago
Top fibre is right answer.

Tarun said:   9 years ago
The loading profile is not stated. So I can not understand how can one answer this?

If the beam is cantilever beam then it will bend concave down and the bottom layer is in compression.

For a simply supported beam, the bending profile is concave up so top layer will be compressed.

Agree @Tarun.

Pranay SB said:   9 years ago
Here it is mentioned the type of loading. The given answer is correct only for Cantilever Beam.

You are correct @Tarun.

Aneesh kushwaha said:   8 years ago
Yes, Agree @TARUN.

I think Option A is the right answer.
