Tearing resistance required to tear off the plate per pitch length is (where p = Pitch of rivets, d = Dia. of rivet hole and $${\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$ = Permissible tensile stress for plate material)

A $${\text{pd}}{\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$
B $${\text{pt}}{\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$
C $$\left( {{\text{p}} - {\text{d}}} \right){\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$
D $$\left( {{\text{p}} - {\text{d}}} \right){\text{t}}{\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$

Correct Answer: $$\left( {{\text{p}} - {\text{d}}} \right){\text{t}}{\sigma _{\text{t}}}$$
