This is because the bending moment in a two-way slab is proportional to the square of the load.

However, as explained above, the ratio of the loads is equal to the square of the ratio of the spans.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: This option is incorrect because it states that the ratio of the loads is equal to the square of the square of the ratio of the spans. This is not correct because the bending moment in a two-way slab is proportional to the square of the load, not the square of the square of the load.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: This option is incorrect because it states that the ratio of the loads is equal to the fourth power of the ratio of the spans.
