now equate the torque about the center of mass and resolve the forces in the vertical direction to get ur answer

Equating forces
N₁+N₂=W

Equating Torques about A

Wx=N₂d

=>N₂=Wx/d

So N₁=W[1- (x/d)]
Normal reaction on A is W[1- (x/d)]

And on B is Wx/d

yeah exactly but the answer what BT depicts is

on A its w(d-x)

and on B its wx

guys !!

That means there is no ~/d term there.
Jus' check if w is density[7][7][333]
