Answer is C.

Take a support at the left end then the reaction will be 45/2 and at 2 m right sf will be 45/2 -15*2 = -15/2 then draw sf diagram according to properties of triangle let sf will be 0 at x distance then 2x/45 = 2(2-x)/15 then x=6/4=1.5 m from left end.

@Santu Naskar.

How comes 45?

Find the reactions Ra = 22.5 Rb = 7.5.
And then consider SF=0 at x distance,
so Ra - Wx = 0.
22.5 - 15x = 0.
x = 1.5.
