For cantilever with point load P at free end, maximum bending moment occurs at:

ANo moment
BMidpoint
CFIXED end (= P × L, where L = length)
DFree end
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. FIXED end (= P × L, where L = length)
Cantilever with end-load: max BM at fixed end (= PL). Max SF also at fixed end (= P, constant along beam). Free end has zero BM and zero SF (beyond the load point only).
