A beams $$PQRS$$ is $$18$$ $$m$$ long and is simply supported at points $$Q$$ and $$R$$ $$10$$ $$m$$ apart. overhangs $$PQ$$ and $$RS$$ are $$3$$ $$m$$ and $$5$$ $$m$$ respectively. A train of two point loads of $$150$$ $$kN$$ and $$100$$ $$kN$$, $$5$$ $$m$$ apart, crosses this beam from left to right with $$100$$ $$kN$$ load leading.

The maximum sagging moment under the $$150$$ $$kN$$ load anywhere is

A
$$500$$ $$kN$$-$$m$$
B
$$450$$ $$kN$$-$$m$$
C
$$400$$ $$kN$$-$$m$$
D
$$375$$ $$kN$$-$$m$$
