@Civise.
Because the log is floating. So forces are balancing each other. That's why.

How do guys consider the udl of water is 50? Please explain it detail.

A is correct.
Because at the centre sF is zero.

The answer is A, each end 50, not centre, sf of udl at centre is zero.

According to given options answer should be 50 N.
But under a point load shear force is always indeterminate.

I agree @Himanshu and @Pratul.

The UDL of water will act in the opposite direction of the 100 kN. And thus the answer is 100-50 = 50.

Explain your answer clearly @Himanshu.

Answer is B.
@All.
Here, you haven't considered the UDLof water which is 100/ total length. And the question of shear centre does not arise.
