Question:

In ___\ bending, the direction of the neutral axis will not be perpendicular to the plane of bending.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In unsymmetrical bending, the bending is such that the neutral axis does not remain perpendicular to the plane of bending. This occurs because the cross-section has different moments of inertia about different axes. The neutral axis will rotate, making an angle with the plane of bending. Hence, the correct answer is "Unsymmetrical".
