$A$ uniform rod of length $1\, m$ and mass $4\, kg$ is supported on two knife-edges placed $10\, cm$ from each end. $A$ $60\, N$ weight is suspended at $30\, cm$ from one end. The reactions at the knife edges are:

  • A
    $60\, N, 40\, N$
  • B
    $75\, N, 25\, N$
  • C
    $65\, N, 35\, N$
  • D
    $55\, N, 45\, N$
