An isolated T beam is used as a walkway. The beam is simply supported with an effective span of 6 m. The effective width of flange, for the cross-section shown in the below figure is

A 900 mm

B 1000 mm

C 1259 mm

D 2200 mm

ANS:A - 900 mm

bf = lo/6 + bw + 6Df.
bf= 6000/6 + 300 +900.
bf= 1000 + 300 + 900.
So, bf= 2200.
