By lamis theorem W/sin60 = BC/sin90 so BC equals to +2W/√3 (tensile).

Or

By resolving BC vertically and applying the equilibrium equation in the vertical direction we get
BCsin60 - W = 0.
BC= +2W/√3 (tensile).

It is very easy to divide the section into half shift the load w (you can shift the load) to the right side and make a right angle triangle where perpendicular CE I assume make (w) and base as EB = cos60 and hypotenuse is BC= sin60 - w and for equilibrium, BC = sin60 - w =0 BC= +w/ (root3/2) = 2/w root3 assign is +ve so it is tensile.

Please, anyone, explain the answer in detail to get it.

It's in compression, according to methods of joints.

I am not getting this, please explain briefly.

Explain Lamis theorem.

See here When you resolve force at point B,
then you get,

IF we get the force at away from B.
x=BC cos60=0.
y=BC sin60-w=0.

BC=2*W/3.

HERE YOU GET YOUR ANSWER TENSILE.

It is By Lami theorem.

BC is compressive right but CB is?
