Maximum Bending Moment will be at the simply supported beam mid span.

M at max = R1 (a+ (R1/2w)).

R1 = (wb (a+c+b) /2l).

Here, w = 4, a = 7.5, b = 5, c = 7.5, a+b+c = 20 = l.

Solving,

R1 = 10.

M max = 10 (7.5+ (10/2*5)) = 87.5 t-m.

Hope this clears up the doubts.

Max BM will be at mid span.

Taking moment about B we get.

R1 = (wb (a+b+c))/2l.

R1 = 10.

And calculating BM at center.

R1(a+b/2)-w(b/2) b/4).

10*(7.5+(5/2.5))- 4*(5/2)*(5/4) = 87.5 t-m.

Max Bm will occur when load will be at mid span.

Now reaction will be same at both support i.e.

R1 = R2 = 4*5/2 = 10t.

Taking moment about midpoint of span, i.e.,

Absolute Max Bm = 10*10-4*2.5*1.25 = 87.5t-m.

Thanks @Shivendra.

= load *span (where load working)/4(span -span (where load working)/2).
= w*x/4(s-x/2),
= 4*5/4(20-5/2),
= 87.5.

Ra+Rb = 4 * 5=20.
Ra=Rb = 10.

Max Bending Moment = Ra * 10 - 4 * 2.5 * 2.5/2
= 10 * 10-4 * 2.5 * 1.25
= 100-12.5.
= 87.5 at mid span.
