Marks: +1, -0

Consider the plane truss with load P as shown in the figure. Let the horizontal and vertical reactions at the joint B be H_B and V_B, respectively and V_C be the vertical reaction at the joint C.

Which one of the following sets gives the correct values of V_B, H_B and V_C?

$V_{B} = 0;H_{B} = 0;V_{C} = P$
$V_{B} = \;{P}/{2};H_{B} = 0;V_{C} = \;{P}/{2}$
$V_{B} = \;{P}/{2};H_{B} = P ( sin \;⁡60^{ ∘ }) ;V_{C} = \;{P}/{2}$
$V_{B} = P;H_{B} = P (\cos ⁡60^{ ∘ }) ;V_{C} = 0$
