I do not know why they are providing like (24/15) in option. Whereas it is clearly visible that the answer should come (8/5).

It is clearly time-wasting of students.

It's correct.

384/48×5 = 384/ 240 = by dividing you will get the answer 24/15.

The isolated load is nothing but point load. So,
For simply supported beam deflection is wl^3/48EI.
For UDL 5WL^4/384EI,
So the ratio of these two is 24/15,
Again 24 and 15 cancel in 3 table,
Finally we get 8/5.

Maximum Deflection at the mid-span of a SSB with an isolated central load is WL3/48EI--> i
Maximum deflection at the mid-span of a SSB with UDL through the entire span is 5WL3/384EI--> ii.

i/ii=8/5.
So the correct answer is 8/5.

It must be 8/5 because ratios are that one which cannot be further divisible with common number how you can make it 24/15 because it is divisible of 3.

8/5 * 3 = 24/15.

Yes, it is 8÷5. I too agree.

8/5 is the right answer.

Therefore, 8/5 * 3/3 = 24/15 is correct.

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)] = 8/5.

Here, it should be wl³/48EI × 384EI /5wl⁴ = 8/5.
