We can also solve by the truss method.
i.e., the bc member is pcotθ where θ is 30°.
And more ever CD is a zero-member hence we get a symmetrical structure so the reaction is equal.
Now the value of p we get is 1.5 and cotθ= √(3). So answer we get is (3/2)*√(3)

Take moment about B.
Va * l - 3t*l/2 =0.
Va= 3t/2 then Vb=3t/2.
consider joint B.
Fbdcos30 + Vb=0.
Fbd= - 3t/ ( 2sin30).
SUM H= 0.
-Fbc-fbdcos30=0
THEN Fbc= 3t (3)^(1/3) /2.
Va * l - 3t*l/2 =0.
Va= 3t/2 then Vb=3t/2.

Fbdcos30 + Vb=0.

SUM H= 0.
-Fbc-fbdcos30=0
THEN Fbc= 3t (3)^(1/3) /2.
