In the design of beams for the limit state of collapse in flexure as per $$IS:$$ $$456$$ - $$2000,$$ let the maximum strain in concrete be limited to $$0.0025$$ (in place of $$0.0035$$). For this situation, consider a rectangular beam section with breadth as $$250$$ $$mm,$$ effective depth as $$350$$ $$mm,$$ area of tension steel as $$1500\,\,m{m^2},$$ and characteristic strengths of concrete and steel as $$30$$ $$MPa$$ and $$250$$ $$MPa$$ respectively.

At the limiting state of collapse in flexure, the force acting on the compression zone of the section is

A
$$326$$ $$kN$$
B
$$389$$ $$kN$$
C
$$424$$ $$kN$$
D
$$542$$ $$kN$$
