In the following questions two statements are given. Read them carefully and choose from the options given below:

Assertion (A): Macaulay’s method to determine the slope and deflection at a point in a beam is suitable for beams subjected to concentrated loads and can be extended to uniformly distributed loads.

Reason (R): Macaulay’s method is based upon the modification of moment. This is applicable to a simple beam carrying a single concentrated load but by superposition, this method can be extended to cover any kind of loading.
