Q. web splice 2. away from centre of span
R. bearing stiffeners 3. away from support
S. horizontal stiffener 4. in the middle of span
5. longitudinally somewhere in the compression flange

  1. P - 2, Q - 3, R - 1, S - 5

  2. P - 4, Q - 2, R - 1, S - 3

  3. P - 3, Q - 4, R - 2, S - 1

A Correct answer
Explanation

Flange splices are placed away from the center, web splices away from supports, bearing stiffeners at supports, and horizontal stiffeners in the compression zone to prevent buckling. This follows standard design practice.
