Answer»

The correct option is (b) HEAVIER

The BEST explanation: In elastic DESIGN structures are designed for allowable STRESS level well below the elastic limit, whereas in plastic design structures are designed using ultimate load RATHER than yield stress, Hence, structures designed using elastic analysis may be heavier than those designed using plastic analysis.
