Option A is the right answer.
Deflection at C will be (Wa^2b^2)/3EIL.
Deflection at C will be (Wa^2b^2)/3EIL.

Does it require constant bending moment equation for Macaulay method?

This formula is use in static deflection not for maximum deflection.

Use MOMENT AREA METHOD, you will get max. Deflection as Wa^3b/3LEI.

Answer should be A.
Max.deflection = WL^3/48EI.
Put a = b = L/2.
Max.deflection = WL^3/48EI.
Put a = b = L/2.

Answer should be A. Given deflection formula is perfectly right.

Maximum deflection = -Wa2b2/3EIL (There is use negative sign).

Apply McCauley's method. They can easily solve this concept.

In simply supported beam max.defletion is at center of beam.

They have used 3EIL. Which is wrong? L should not be there.
