Q1:

The simply supported beam 'A' of length l carries a central point load W. Another beam 'B' is loaded with a uniformly distributed load such that the total load on the beam is W. The ratio of maximum deflections between beams A and B is

A 5/8

B 8/5

C 5/4

D 4/5

ANS:B - 8/5

Deflection in sim.

Supp. Beam is = WL3/48 EI,
For UDL 5WL3/ 384 EI
So,1.6 or 8 /5.
