A reinforced concrete beam, size $$200$$ $$mm$$ wide and $$300$$ $$mm$$ deep overall is simply supported over a span of $$3$$ $$m.$$ It is subjected to two point loads $$P$$ of equal magnitude placed at middle third points. The two loads are gradually increased simultaneously. Beam is reinforced with $$2$$ $$HYSD$$ $$415$$ bars of $$16$$ $$mm$$ diameter placed at an effective cover of $$40$$ $$mm$$ on bottom face and nominal shear reinforcement. The characteristic compressive strength and the bending tensile strength of the concrete are $$20.0\,\,N/m{m^2}$$ and $$2.2\,\,N/m{m^2}$$ respectively.

The theoretical failure load of the beam for attainment of limit state of collapse in flexure is

A
$$23.7$$ $$kN$$
B
$$25.6$$ $$kN$$
C
$$28.7$$ $$kN$$
D
$$31.6$$ $$kN$$

A truss tie consisting of $$2$$ $$ISA$$ $$75 \times 75 \times 8\,\,mm$$ carries a pull of $$150$$ $$kN.$$ At ends the two angles are connected, one each on either side of a $$10$$ $$mm$$ thick gusset plate, by $$18$$ $$mm$$ diameter rivets arranged in one row. The allowable stresses in rivet are $${f_s} = 90.0\,\,N/m{m^2}$$ and $${f_{br}} = 250\,\,N/m{m^2}$$.

Maximum tensile stress in the tie in $$N/m{m^2}$$ is
