Wl^3÷3Ei÷w (2l) ^3÷3Ei,
=1/8 Answer.
I think option B, please correct me if I m wrong.
=1/8 Answer.

Right @Aaqib.
But it is not ask about ratio they ask about how much increase in deflection.
So, x1/x2 =1/8,
i.e x2=8x1 (answer).
I hope you understand.

Deflection 1= wl^3/ 3EI and,
If l = 2 then deflection 2 = 8wl^3/3 EI.
So deflection = deflection 1/ deflection 2 = 1/8.
Correction answer is 1/8.
Here, mentioned length is to doubled l = 2l.
If l = 2 then deflection 2 = 8wl^3/3 EI.
So deflection = deflection 1/ deflection 2 = 1/8.
Correction answer is 1/8.
Here, mentioned length is to doubled l = 2l.
