In a simply supported beam maximum deflection always occur at the center of the beam.

Right answer A, maximum deflection at point C.

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

It's a simply supported beam but the load is not symmetric so, it will produce max deflection at the point where external load is applied.

@All.
Check the unit of the answer. Here that is not in meter but meter^2.
So, FALSE(B).

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