The correct answer is WL/8.

See the W is capital that means total load.
In these types of cases, W represents total load.
But we know the maximum bending moment is wl^2/8.

These cases w=W where w is udl intensity and W is a total load.
Thanks.

It should said that total uniformly distributed load is W.

Apoorva kumar said:   6 years ago
Wl/2 is the correct one.

Thanks for explaining @Mounika Reddy.

Agree @Kallan.

wl = W thats why WL/8.
