For a point to be a point of contra flexure, the bending moment must change its sign.

Only 0 bending moment doesn't create a point of contra flexure.

Point of contraflexure occurs only in overhanging beams where bending moment changes sign.

Right @Bhakti.

Thank you.

If this is overhang than what is contraflexure?

Propped Cantilever 1, Fixed Beam 2 Continous Beam is No Of Support.

Point of contraflexure is always occurs in B.M.Dig. And point of contra shear in S.F.Dig.

But in the question not mentioned in s.f or b.m case.

Since, simply supported beam is a span with 2 supports at the two far ends. So, the BMD can't cross to the span = BM = 0.
