Assertion (A): Open sections suffer larger warping-restraint stresses than closed ones.

Reason (R): Open sections have a smaller cross-sectional area than closed ones.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: D

The assertion is true but the reason is false and irrelevant. Area has nothing to do with it: the effect is large because an open section wants to warp a great deal, so restraining it forces large axial strains. A closed section warps very little in the first place.
