A cantilever beam is one which- Correct Answer Fixed at one end and free at other end

Explanation:

The different types of beam are:

Cantilever beam: 

A beam fixed at one end and free at the other end is known as a cantilever beam.

Simply Supported beam:

 A beam supported at its both ends is known as a simply supported beam.

Fixed beam: 

A beam whose both ends are fixed, is known as a fixed beam.

Continuous beam: 

A beam supported on more than two supports is known as a continuous beam.

Overhanging beam: 

A beam having its end portion extended beyond the support, is known as overhanging beam. A beam may be overhanging on one side or on both sides.
