1. Pick up the correct statement from the following:
Options
A. When the gauge distance is larger than the pitch, the failure of the section may occur in a zig-zag line
B. When the gauge distance is smaller than the pitch, the failure of the section may occur in a straight right angle section through the centre of rivet holes
C. When the gauge distance and pitch are both equal, the failure to the section becomes more likely as the diameter of the holes increases
D. All the above.

5. In a tension member if b is width of plate, t is thickness of plate, p is staggered pitch, g is gauge distance, n is number of rivet holes in zig-zag line, n is number of gauge spaces, d is gross diameter of rivets, then the net sectional area A_net of the plate, is
