The equation given in the question expresses the value of Deflection at the point of application of load. But maximum deflection will be somewhere between the point of application and midpoint of the beam. So this equation DOESN'T represent MAXIMUM deflection and the statement will be FALSE.

Wa^2b^2/3EIL is deflection under the applied load, it is not the maximum deflection.

The expression given is True, put, a=b=l/2, and you will get the expression, Wl^3/48EI.

Ymax =Wa/9*3EIL(l^2-a^2)^3/2.
