Detailed Solution
Given points lie in the circle x2+y2=a2 since the points are vertices of an equilateral triangle∴ Circumcentre(0) and centroid of triangle are same a3(cosθ1+cosθ2+cosθ3)=0 and a3(sinθ1+sinθ2+sinθ3)=0 ⇒cosθ1+cosθ2+cosθ3=0 and sinθ1+sinθ2+sinθ3=0and cosθ1+cosθ22 +sinθ1+sinθ22= -cosθ32+-sinθ32 =1⇒1+1+2cosθ1-θ2=1 ⇒cosθ1-θ2=-12
