Two structural members B and C are bolted to a shared bracket A. The question asks for the forces on each member if both are pulling on the bracket with a known force. To solve this, we must apply Newton's third law to determine that the forces each member exerts on the bracket are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the forces the bracket exerts back on the members.
