​​​The frame shown in the figure is loaded at $\text{S}$ with a force of $2000 \: \text{N}$. The reactions at $\text{T}$ are denoted by $\text{T}_{x}$ and $\text{T}_{y}$, while the reaction at $\text{W}$ is $\text{W}_{y}$. Neglect the weight of the members.

Which one of the following options for the magnitudes of the forces (in $N$), $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{x}}, \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{y}}$ and $W_{y}$, is $\textsf{CORRECT}$?

  1. $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{x}}=0, \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{y}}=1000$ and $\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{y}}=1000$
  2. $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{x}}=0, \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{y}}=1500$ and $\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{y}}=500$
  3. $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{x}}=0, \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{y}}=800$ and $\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{y}}=1200$
  4. $\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{x}}=0, \mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{y}}=500$ and $\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{y}}=1500$
