Shear force is Zero then maximum B.M is applied.

Since dM/dx = V.

So when V (shear force) = 0, => dM/dx = 0 means M can be maximum or minimum.

How is the answer maximum ?

When no load applied on beam.

Where the shear force becomes zero. The B.M becomes maximum.

Proof:

The b.m for simply supported beam subjected to point load at middle.

The shear force at A.is W/2.
We know that the shear force becomes zero at L/2 of the span.

The B.M is maximum at L/2 the shear force becomes zero.
Therefore,
(W/2)*(L/2)=WL/4.

When shear force zero at the time only we have maximum bending moment.
