Is there something wrong with this basic mechanics question?

I see reaction forces at A and at the T-shaped support, but from some reason the equations at the solution ignore it.

It looks like the equations are just working out the resultant force and torque due to the applied loads only. Is this the solution? Was the question something like 'work out the resultant force and torque due to the applied loads'?

Actually, Bruce, that makes perfect sense. The problem is that I only got this without the question. But, makes perfect sense. Thanks :)
