The following statements are related to bending of beams:

$${\rm I}.$$ The slope of the bending moment diagram is equal to the shear force.
$${\rm II}.$$ The slope of the shear force diagram is equal to the load intensity.
$${\rm III}.$$ The slope of the curvature is equal to the flexural rotation.
$${\rm IV}.$$ The second derivative of the deflection is equal to the curvature.

The only FALSE statements is

$${\rm I}$$

$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$

$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$

$${\rm IV}$$
