Q.	A beam ABC rests on simple supports at A and B with BC as an overhang. D is centre of span AB. If in the first case a concentrated load P acts at C while in the second case load P acts at D, then the
A.	deflection at D in the first case will be equal to the deflection at C in the second case
B.	deflection at C in the first case is equal to the deflection at D in the second case
C.	deflection at D in the first case will always be smaller than the deflection at C in the second case
D.	deflection at D in the first case will always be greater than the deflection at C in the second case
Answer» A. deflection at D in the first case will be equal to the deflection at C in the second case
