| Bending moment at any section in a conjugate beam gives _____ in the actual beams. |
| A. Curvature B. Slope C. Bending moment D. Deflection |
| Answer: OPTION D – Deflection |
| Explanation: |
| Real Beam | Conjugate beam |
| Free end | Fixed end |
| Internal hinge | Internal pin or roller support |
| End pin or roller | Remains same |
| Deflection at any point in real beam | Bending moment at that point or section in Conjugate beam |
| Slope at any point in real beam | Shear force at that point or section in Conjugate beam |
| M/EI diagram of real beam due to top applied load | Loading on Conjugate beam |
