Question
Two rectangular objects of same mass, one along the length (object A) and other along the breadth(object B) are kept on a rough surface. A force F is applied to both the bodies, so that toppling takes place. Which object will topple first

Solution
The correct option is B B
Since force applied is to topple the objects, the rotational equilibrium will be disturbed more for those objects, which has a lesser surface area (contact with the floor), since normal force can shift only to a smaller extent. Hence object B will topple first
The option(b) is the correct answer
