Consider the following statements:

$$1.\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ The width-to-thickness ratio limitations on the plate elements under
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ compression in steel members are imposed by $$IS:$$ $$800$$ - $$1984$$ in order to avoid
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ fabrication difficulties.
$$2.\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ In a doubly reinforced concrete beam, the strain in compressive reinforcement is
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ higher than the strain in the adjoining concrete.
$$3.\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ If a cantilever $${\rm I}$$-section supports slab construction all along its length with
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ sufficient friction between them, the permissible bending stress in compression
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ will be the same as that in tension.

The TRUE statements are

A
$$1$$ and $$2$$
B
$$2$$ and $$3$$
C
Only $$3$$
D
$$1,2$$ and $$3$$
