What is the diff b/w Transverse load and direct load?

Can anyone explain the meaning loaded transversely?

The answer which is given that is only true for when load is applied transversely downward.

When the loaded in rectangular beam, then will be developed maximum stresses in bottom and top layer.

Top layer concave shape gain and bottom layer convex shape so top layer is compressive stress.

Loaded means loaded downwards. In that case upper fibers will be compressed while lower will be expanded. Hence maximum compressive stress will be developed in top layer.

I think the answer for the maximum compressive stress is developed on the top layer of the beam.

Agree @Tarun.

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.
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.

Top fibre is right answer.
