Free body diagram of the plank is shown in figure.

\therefore plank is in equilibrium condition -

So \mathrm{F_{\text {net }} \& \: \tau_{\text {net }}} on the plank is zero.

from, \mathrm{f_{\text {net }}=0}

         \mathrm{ F_{\text {netx }}=0 }

          \mathrm{ N_1=0 }

Now, \mathrm{\quad f_{\text {net\, y }}=0}

        \mathrm{ N_2+T=m g}..............(1)

from \mathrm{\tau_{\text {net }}=0}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow \tau_{net}} about point \mathrm{A} is zero

so, \mathrm{N_2 \cdot l=m g \cdot l / 2}

\mathrm{ N_2=\frac{m_g}{2} }

Hence option 2 is correct.
