Thanks, @Sangam.

First of all, calculate the reactions at the supports. You will get Ra=70t/8 and Re=50t/8. By using the method of joints take sigma Fy=0 at support A.

You will get the value of Force in AB member=-70t/4*sqrt3.

After it, take Sigma Fx=0 at support A, and you will get the value of force in AC member 8.75t/sqrt 3.
