Breadth is inversely proportional to deflection.

Thank you @Som.

Option B is correct. Because deflection is inversely proportional to flexural rigidity EI And I=bd^3/12.

A=wl^3/48E*bd^3/12.
A=wl^3/4E*bd3,
B=wl^3/48E*2bd^3/12,
B=wl^3/8E*bd^3,
B/A=1/2.

Ans:B correct

Deflection - pl/AE.

So, deflection is inversely proportional to area Db/Da=Aa/Ab=1/2.
