Yes, option E is the right answer.

I think all of them are correct because in the deflation formula wL3/48EI where I= bh3/12.

Option A, B & C are correct in the case of a rectangular beam.

Deflection = 5wl4 ÷ 384EI for uploading,
= Wl^3÷48EI for point load etc.
Where I = bd^3/12.
Deflection is directly proportional to weight or load & length.
Deflection is inversely proportional to width and the cube of depth.

In case of loading deflection is wl3/48 EI. So, Deflection is directly proportional to the weight of beam.

Right @Mr. Asif.

Deflection is always inversely proportional to the moment of inertia in any case of loading.

Susmita said:   1 decade ago
Deflection simply supported beam carrying point load at its mid point=wl^3/48EI.

B can also be correct by substituting the value of I, please tell me.

Krishna said:   9 years ago
Why it is option C? Give the clear explanation.

Kasi said:   9 years ago
Yes. All the given options are like correct answers. Check it once.
