Answer 1

Answer: Diagram associated with your question is attached below

5) B

6) C

Explanation:

5) The pin support at A allows ; Rotation about its central axis  

This is because pin supports does not allow the translation of its structural member in any direction i.e. y or x but only rotation about its axis

6)  The support at B does not allow displacement in y direction

This is because roller support allows displacement only in the direction that they are situated and in this case it is the x - direction
