Two Thin Cables, Each Having a Diameter Of $d=t / 6$

Two thin cables, each having a diameter of $d=t / 6$ and carrying tensile loads P, are bolted to the top of a rectangular steel block with
Cross-sectional dimensions $b \times t$ . The ratio of the maximum tensile to
Compressive stress in the block due to loads P is: (A) $1.5$
(B) $1.8$
(C) $2.0$
(D) $2.5$
