By McCauley's method.

Max deflection = wba3/3EI as max deflection occur under loading i.e. - x=a from left support.

According to the figure, the answer is correct but according to c's position the right answer is:- (Wa^2c^3)/384EI.

When simply supported beam deflection is wl3/48EI AND IS satisfy above equation if we take a and b equal to L/2.

Whatever mentioned above is deflection at C & Max. Deflection = ((wa(l^2-a^2)^1.5))/9*3^(1/2)*EIl)).

In simply supported beams deflection =Wl^3/48EI.

In simpy supported with UDL deflection =5Wl^4/384EI.

@All.

Check the unit of the answer. Here that is not in meter but meter^2.

So, FALSE(B).

Given value is Deflection at Point C.
Max.Deflection = Wa*((l^2-a^2)^3/2)/(9*1.732*E*I*L).

According to Maculay's method when point load act on eccentric then the answer is correct.

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

The deflection at C is true, since b & a .

Therefore, maximum deflection occurs in CB.
