@All.
The answer given is Reaction force at B but in the question, they have asked about shear force which will be zero as there is no force on the right of B.

First of all, its centroid it at l/3.
And we know r(a)+r(b)-w*(l/3)=0,
And r(a)=r(b),
So r(b)=wl/6.
And we know r(a)+r(b)-w*(l/3)=0,
And r(a)=r(b),
So r(b)=wl/6.

L/3 from B and 2l/3 from A so the load is wl then taking moment about B l/3 * wl/2 = A * l
= wl/6.
= wl/6.

@Josh.
You have taken the wrong length, 2l/3 from B and l/3 from A.
So the answer should be B.

@ M.S.R.
It is SSB, it is never SF Zero at the support.
BM is zero at the support.

Ra + Rb= wl/2,
The moment about A point.
Rb * l= wl/2 * l/3,
Rb = wl/6.
The moment about A point.
Rb * l= wl/2 * l/3,
Rb = wl/6.

I think the answer is option D. If it is wrong then please correct me.
