By deflection of beams first find out value of middle prop reaction as:

(5wl^4)/384EI = (pl^3)/48EI.
p = 5wl/8.

After this B.M at the center is;
for UDL Wl^2/8 n for point load Pl/4.
therefore we have UDL minus point load.
Wl^2/8 - Pl/4.
Wl^2/8 - ((5/8) wl)/4 substitute value of P.
then we get WL/32.

p = 5wl/8.

Then reaction at each end is 3wl/16.

Therefore BM at centre will be = (3wl/16)*(l/2)-(wl/2)*(l/4) is the answer wl/32.

@Asif.

By solving the equation, we get wl^2/32.

I think the answer is -wl^2/32.

BM= wl2/8 for simply supported beams.

When l = l/2.
Then BM = wl2/32.
= Wl/32( where W=wl).
