Solution

The correct option is C Depend on the thickness of flange in relation to total depth and percentage of reinforcement
(c)
The neutral axis of T-beam may either be in the web or in the flange depending upon thickness of flange, percentage of reinforcement, amount of tensile steel, proportions of cross-section and compressive strength of materials.
