Deflection due to clockwise moment M,D1=ML^2/2EI=M*2^2/2EI.
Deflection due to point load 9kN,D2=PL^3/3EI = 9*2^3/3EI.
Since deflection has to be 0 hence D1-D2=0, M will come 12kNm clockwise.

How 12 is correct?

12 is correct but the direction is clockwise.

Agree @Arjun.
It is -18KN-M.
It is -18KN-M.

I think it is 9KN*2M = 18 KN-M, as moment is defined as force X displacement.
