The force concentrated in the one-third near the base of the triangle.

wl/2 is correct. Refer strength of material by RS Khurmi page no:294.

Ra = WL/6 Rb = WL/3 so the shear force at A is WL/2(uvl)-WL/6 = WL/3.

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.

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.

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

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