I've encountered a question as part of an engineering course and I'm quite confused. The limited amount of information has me dumbfounded. Any help is appreciated.
Question: Determine the moment of the couple for the system shown below. The forces shown lie in the x-y plane.

Possible answers are -2400k, -4800k, 2400k or none of the above.
Thanks

Do you know the definition of moment of a couple (magnitude and direction)?

Moment is a measure of a force's tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis and a couple is defined by to two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action.
