A simply supported beam of rectangular section 4 cm by 6 cm carries a mid-span concentrated load such that the 6 cm side lies parallel to line of action of loading; deflection under the load is\[\delta \]. If the beam is now supported with the 4cm side parallel to line of action of loading, the deflection under the load will be:

• A. 0.44 \[\delta \]
• B. 0.67 \[\delta \]
• C. 1.5 \[\delta \]
• D. 2.25 \[\delta \]
