DF= Kab/sum of K.
= 1/1+1.
= 1/2.

DM= 20*1/2,
= 10.

COM = DM/2 [FOR FIXED].
= 10/2,
= 5.

kab=1.
kbc=1.
d.f for BA = 1/2 = 0.5.
d.m for BA = 20 *m0.5=10,
c.o.m for AB = 10/2 = 5.

Far and fixed so carry over factor is 1/2 hence 20/2 so 10knm will be the answer.

As per moment distribution method,
Make use of a concept called carry-over factor.
20 kn moment is carried to both the supports a and c equally.

20/4= 5.
