Hi,
I am so confused, could someone explain it to me that what would be the theoretical mechanical advantage of these pulley arrangements.

Simply ask yourself how many strings are supporting the load. Each string carries the force you impart as effort. For instance, in the first picture, there are three strings supporting the load, each applying the tension of the effort to it.
