  3. If the depth of neutral axis for a singly reinforced rectangular section is represented by kd in working stress design, then the value of k for balanced section

    4. A.

     depends on as, only
    B.

     depends on aCbC only
    C.

     depends on both crst and acbc
    D.

     is independant of both ast and acbc where d is the effective depth, ast is per-missible stress in steel in tension and ocbc is permissible stress in concrete in bending compression.
