An old exam paper practice question. I can get up to b) but i am having trouble with the tensions.

I got for Aa=-10mms-2 Ad=-5mms-2, while Ac is given to be 20mms-2 and Ab=0mms-2.
Is this corrent and if so how do I go about solving question c?

This was done by creating the constraints.
2Aa + 2Ab + Ac = 0
2Ad - Aa - Ab = 0
