CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b, c, d)
The horizontal forces on the man must balance, i.e., the forces exerted by the two walls on him must be equal.
The vertical forces can balance even if the forces of friction on the two walls are unequal. The torques due to the forces of friction about his centre of mass must balance. This requires friction on both walls.
