Maximum deflections of a beam simply supported at its ends with an isolated central load = (WL^3)/(48EI)
Maximum deflections of a beam simply supported at its ends with uniformly distributed load= (5wL^4)/(384EI) {W=wL}
So [(WL^3)/(48EI)] / [(5wL^4)/(384EI)] = 24/15.
Maximum deflections of a beam simply supported at its ends with uniformly distributed load= (5wL^4)/(384EI) {W=wL}
So [(WL^3)/(48EI)] / [(5wL^4)/(384EI)] = 24/15.

Maximum deflections of a beam simply supported at its ends with uniformly distributed load= (5wL^4)/(384EI) {W=wL}.
So [(WL^3)/(48EI)] / [(5wL^4)/(384EI)] = 8/5.

So [(WL^3)/(48EI)] / [(5wL^4)/(384EI)] = 8/5.

@Bhakti deshmukh:
1) Max. Deflection of ssb subjected to central load = WL^3/48 EI.
2) Max. Deflection of beam subjected to udl = (5wL^4)/(384EI).
Hence ratio of these two is 8/5.

Ratio is 8/5, hence multiplying by 3 we will get 24/15 which is given in options.

I am not getting this, Please, Properly discuss this question.

Answer is 8/5. Why we need to multiply the factor 3?

Question is asking max deflection at ends and these formulas are for max deflection at centre.
Clear it please.
Clear it please.

Max Deflection where occurs in the middle only. At supports, it is zero so 8/5 is the answer. But why 24/15?
Nikhil said:

24/15 is equal to 8/5 so 24/15 is correct answer.

How 24/15 is correct, could you explain me please clearly?
