Wl/3 is the correct answer. I too agree.

The given answer is right because span load is uvl (uniformly varying load) not a udl (uniformly distributed load).

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

If we are finding shear force at a point just before A then the answer is right and at Exactly point A it will be 0.

Here it is asking about the shear force which will be WL/2. To calculate BM. It will be - WLsq/3 and at A- WLsq/6.

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

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