Equilibrium of forces — practice question

A ladder is balanced in equilibrium, with its foot on rough ground and its top leaning against a rough wall. Its weight $W$ acts through the centre of gravity $G$. Additional forces act on the ladder at $P$ and at $Q$. These forces are $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Which vector triangle shows the forces acting on the ladder?
