Consider the rigid bar ABC supported by the pin-jointed links BD and CE and subjected to a load $P$ at the end $A$, as shown in the figure. The axial rigidities of $B D$ and $C E$ are 22500 kN and 15000 kN , respectively. If CE elongates by 5 mm due to the load P , the magnitude of the downward deflection (in mm ) of the end $A$ would be _________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

A
If a structure is acted upon by two force system Pa and Pb, in equilibrium separately, the external virtual work done by a system forces Pb during the deformations caused by another system of forces Pa is equal to the external virtual work done by the Pa system during the deformation caused by the Pb system.
B
If a linearly elastic structure is subjected to a set of loads, the partial derivative of the total strain energy with respect to the load at any point is equal to the deflection at that point.
C
The shear force in a conjugate beam loaded by the M/El diagram of the real beam is equal to the corresponding deflection of the real beam.
D
If a linearly elastic structure is subjected to a set of loads the partial derivative of the total strain energy with respect to the deflection at any point is equal to the load applied at that point.
