    I think options given are wrong. Right answer must be wsqureL/4AE.
    Because deflection due to self weight in prismatic bar is WL/2AE.And strain energy is calculated by
    S.E= 1/2(w*deflection).

    Thank you.Good job to show this.Probably I can solve the critical problem now.

    - The strain energy caused due to self weight in a cylindrical bar is given as (W2 L) / (6 AE)

    - Here, W is the self weight, E is the Young's modulus, L is the length of bar, A is the area of cross-section.

    - Strain energy is defined as the energy stored by a system which undergoes deformation under the application of load.
