B. A straight line
C. A parabolic curve
D. An elliptical curve
If the shear stress in a R.C.C. beam is
A. Equal or less than 5 kg/cm2, no shear reinforcement is provided
B. Greater than 4 kg/cm2, but less than 20 kg/cm2, shear reinforcement is provided
C. Greater than 20 kg/cm2, the size of the section is changed
D. All the above

In a simply supported slab, alternate bars are curtailed at
A. $${\frac{1}{4}^{{\text{th}}}}$$ of the span
B. $${\frac{1}{5}^{{\text{th}}}}$$ of the span
C. $${\frac{1}{6}^{{\text{th}}}}$$ of the span
D. $${\frac{1}{7}^{{\text{th}}}}$$ of the span
This is the wrong answer. The right answer is A.
B. Compression is resisted by compression steel and concrete.
C. Stress in tension-steel must be greater than the one in compression steel.
