Q. Two rectangular under-reinforced concrete beam sections X and Y are similar in all aspects except that the longitudinal compression reinforcement in section Y is 10% more. Which one of the following is the correct statement?
A. Section X has less flexural strength and is less ductile than section Y
B. Section X has less flexural strength but is more ductile than section Y
C. Sections X and Y have equal flexural strength but different ductility
