Equilibrium of forces — practice question

A ladder is in equilibrium, with one end on rough ground and the other against a rough wall. The ladder’s weight $W$ acts through its centre of gravity $G$. The ladder also experiences forces at $P$ and at $Q$. These forces are $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Which vector triangle shows the forces acting on the ladder?
