Consider the following statements with respect to shear stress distribution in a beam cross-section and identify the correct answer.
Statement A: The maximum intensity of shear stress in a rectangular beam cross-section at neutral axis is equal to 1.5 times the average shear stress.
Statement B: The maximum intensity of shear stress in a triangular beam cross-section is equal to 1.5 times the average shear stress.
