one of the forces must be zero
each force must be zero
forces must be equal and of the same sign
forces must be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

Answer B is correct, if it is asked for straight line then D will be correct.

Aksh said:   9 years ago
The correct answer is B 100 % correct, it is one of the principal.

Abdullah said:   9 years ago
I think D is the correct answer.

What's wrong with option D? I think answer D is correct.

No option D can not be correct because it is written that they should not be in straight line please refer to question language first answer is correct B.

Answer is D. Because forces are act in apposite direction same magnitude but different sign. Up word and down word direction then equilibrium conditions on any joints.

If each force is zero, then there is no force at all. Answer B is wrong.

Krishnan said:   1 decade ago
Forces must be of same magnitude but opposite in direction to have the joint in equilibrium as we know that at any joint the summation of forces must be equal to zero.

Forces along y-axis are along a straight line, right? then how is it different from forces not along the straight line?
