Guest's theory of failure is applicable for following type of materials

Abrittle

Bductile

Celastic

Dplastic

Answer:

A. brittle

Read Explanation:

Guest's theory of failure states that failure occurs when maximum shear stress in complex stress system equals maximum shear stress in simple tension. It is applicable for ductile materials as they are weak in shear.
