Hi guys I am doing this question out of a book, the answer is not given so I am trying to find out if my answer is correct or not. Please find the attached image which shows the question.

1) For the reaction in Question (a) I found the reaction (Ry) to be 220 kN. Rx = 0 because there is no horizontal force.
2) the shear force diagram I drew looks like the graph in the second image but my bending moment graph does not come to zero ?

Please can anyone help me with this problem ?

ah whoever gave me a warning saying misplaced school-type question could've asked me first. I am doing this for my revision its out of a book I picked up from the library. Seriously next time ask first.
 
What is the relevance of the steel density given? The question doesn't seem to match the figure. Can you ellaborate? How many reaction components are there at the encastre support, including ones of zero value? You can check your reactions by making sure that taking moments about the right hand end should be zero. Give us your moment diagram please.
