Q1:

The force in EC of the truss shown in the given figure, is

A zero

B 5t tension

C 5t compression

D 4t tension

E None of these.

ANS:C - 5t compression

Option B is correct because 5t=EC. If the direction of load is at joint, then the direction of load on the incoming member will also be at the joint.
