Consider two $$RCC$$ beams, $$P$$ and $$Q$$, each having the section $$400$$ $$mm$$ $$ \times \,\,750\,\,mm$$ (effective depth, $$d=750$$ $$mm$$) made with concrete having a $${\tau _{c\max }} = 2.1\,\,N/m{m^2}.$$ For the reinforcement provided and the grade of concrete used, it may be assumed that the $$\,{\tau _c} = 0.75\,\,N/m{m^2}.$$ The design shear in beam $$P$$ is $$400$$ $$kN$$ and in beam $$Q$$ is $$750$$ $$kN.$$ Considering the provisions of $$IS$$ $$456$$-$$2000.$$

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A
Shear reinforcement should be designed for $$175$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$P$$ and the section for beam $$Q$$ should be revised.
B
Nominal shear reinforcement is required for beam $$P$$ and the shear reinforcement should be designed for $$120$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$Q.$$
C
Shear reinforcement should be designed for $$175$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$P$$ and the shear reinforcement should be designed for $$525$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$Q.$$
D
The sections for both beams $$P$$ and $$Q$$ need to be revised.

A reinforced concrete beam of rectangular cross section of breadth $$230$$ $$mm$$ and effective depth $$400$$ $$mm$$ is subjected to maximum factored shear force of $$120$$ $$kN.$$ The grades of concrete, main steel and stirrup steel are $$M20,$$ $$Fe415$$ and $$Fe250$$ respectively. For the area of main steel provided, the design shear strength τc is per $$IS: 456$$-$$2000$$ is $$0.48$$ $$N/m{m^2}.$$ The beam is designed for collapse limit state.

A
$$40$$
B
$$115$$
C
$$250$$
D
