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

Answer should be A. Since the deflection at any point on a SSB is given by the same formula. It can be verified for maximum deflection at center for a SSB.

Maximum deflection occurs at center.

Ans: A.
Maximum deflection at the center = (wl^3)/(192EI) if a = b = l/2.
Maximum deflection at the center = (wl^3)/(192EI) if a = b = l/2.

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

MAX.DEFLECTION = Wab^3/3EI(a+b) = Wab^3/3EIL.

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

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

In simply supported beam max deflection occurs at center of the load applied.

Above question is satisfying the equation when a=l/2, b=l/2 in the w*a^2*b^2/48EI.
