Answer»

Correct choice is (a) less

To elaborate: The flange cover PLATES should not be thicker than the flange angles in riveted/bolted connections. Hence, more than one plate may be required. It is PREFERRED that all cover plates should have same THICKNESS. If they are of different thickness, then outer plates should not be thicker THIN the inner plates.
