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_______________?

• 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 c
