Options are wrong the shear force at A is Wl/2.

No it is right. Shear force at A is wl/3. Because at A-force is (2/3L)WL/2/L. Calculate it.

Yes I think so wrong answer because shear force = (wL^2)/2L=wL/2.

No, the answer is right. WL/2 acts at 2L/3 not at point A.

Options are wrong. Answer is wL/2.

The given answer is correct (option B). Because it is a simply supported beam, so we have to take support reactions also into account while calculating SF.

The given option B. wl/3 is the correct answer.

At B : {(WL/2) * (2L/3)}/L = WL/3.
At A : {(WL/2) * (L/3)}/L = WL/6.
At A : {(WL/2) * (L/3)}/L = WL/6.
