w.b/(9root3 EIL) * (a^2 + 2ab)^(3/2).

I too say that the correct answer will be A.

Option A is the right answer.

Here it is a simply supported beam with eccentric loading (wa2b2/3eil). Which is absolutely correct. Hence by substitution a = L/2, we can get the maximum deflection at mid point.

Here in question given (Wa2b2/3EIL). So read the question carefully.
If you put a = b = (L/2). Then it satisfies the equation as we know that for simply supported beam max deflection is,
(WL^3/48EI).
So given answer is wrong.
Option A is the correct answer.

The deflection at C is true, since b & a .
Therefore, maximum deflection occurs in CB.
Therefore, maximum deflection occurs in CB.

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

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

Max deflection: Y = -2wa^3b^2/3EI (3a+b)^2.

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