Solution:

A simply supported beam of constant flexural rigidity and length 2L carries a concentrated load 'P' at its mid-span, and the deflection under the load is 𝛿. If a cantilever beam of the same flexural rigidity and length 'L' is subjected to load 'P' at its free end, then the deflection at the free end will be:
