Dear experts kindly answer the following question

Solution:
Since, the ladder is at rest so, net force on it must be zero. As well as it must be in rotational equilibrium.


Let length of the ladder be l.
Since, the ladder is at rest,
N-Mg=0             ...1N'-fs=0              ...2So, N=Mg=10×10=100 NThe ladder must be in rotational equilibrium. So taking moment of force about point C,N×lcos37°-fslcos53°-Mg×l2cos37°-N'×0=0fs=N×lcos37°-Mg×l2cos37°lcos53°         =Ncos37°-Mgcos37°2cos53°N=100 N, Mg = 100 N, cos37°=45 and cos53°=35fs=66.66 N
​​​​
So, N = 100 N and fs = 66.66 N
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
