Lamis's theorem can be used for this concept.
P/sinP = Q/sinQ = R/sinR. if the angle are 120degree i.e.angleP = Q = R = 120 the magnitude of all forces in three members are same which gives equilibrium of the joint.

@ Ranjit Ray,

Sin 120 is 0.89 and Sin 90 is 1.Then How do you tell 120 is right. I think Sin 90 is correct.

@Ranjit Ray.

They have mentioned two inclined members not three. If it's 3 inclined members then it would be 120.

@All.

In question, there is 3 member, 1 is balanced by two other, all three is in equilibrium if angle b/w them is 120 degree.
