A force of 500 N acts at the top of the two-member frame. If the members are in smooth contact with one another at A, B, and C with no fasteners, determine the shear force developed at a horizontal section through point D of the support. Also, what are the axial force, shear force and moment at point E?

A:
VD = 250 N, AE = 250 N, VE = 333 N, ME = 316 N-m
B:
VD = 333 N, AE = 333 N, VE = 250 N, ME = 267 N-m
C:
VD = 333 N, AE = 333 N, VE = 250 N, ME = 200 N-m
D:
VD = 250 N, AE = 250 N, VE = 333 N, ME = 267 N-m
