What is that at ''C'' in the main structure, Is it any kind of pin support?

In a simple manner, the number Of equilibrium conditions are 4 in question those are verticle force horigentle force and moment and having hinge at B having a moment is zero. Compare the option with equilibrium conditions we get option B and D are matching but hinge will not change. So, option B is correct.

D is the correct option. Internal hinge is converted into Roller support. If not provide Roller support then the beam will rotate about a hinge.

So, D is the correct option for this question.

Option D is correct because in conjugate beam internal hinge repassed to roller & roller support hinge.

I think Option D is the right answer.

Pushpendra said:   2 years ago
Yes, option B is the correct answer.

Muzey said:   9 months ago
The correct answer is option D.

Fixed support in the real beam becomes a free end in the conjugate beam and vice versa.
Internal Hinge connection in real beam becomes simple support in conjugate beam and vice versa.
Simple support at the edge remains the same for both real and conjugate beams.
