   σ_x = 100 kPa, τ_xy = 50 kPa
   Minimum principal stress
   
   By squaring
   

   2500 +	σy2	- 50σy + 2500 = 1600 +	σy2	+ 40σy
   	4		4

   
   ∴ 90 σ_y = 3400
   σ_y = 37.78 MPa

   Correct Option: C

   The state of stress is pure shear
   ∴ σ₁ = –σ₂ = τ = 50 MPa.
   σ_max = 50 MPa

   Correct Option: A

   The state of stress is pure shear
   ∴ σ₁ = –σ₂ = τ = 50 MPa.
