 If (0,0) is orthocentre of triangle formed by A(cosα,sinα) , B(cosβ,sinβ) and C(cosγ,sinγ) then BAC is 

a
60°
b
30°
c
45°
d
221°2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Points A(cos⁡α,sin⁡α),B(cos⁡β,sin⁡β),C(cos⁡γ,sin⁡γ) are equidistant from origin O(0, 0). OA=sin2α+cos2α=1 similarly OB=1, OC=1Thus, circumcenter is origin. Also orthocenter is origin. circumcenter and orthocenter are coincident,  So triangle is equilateral∴ ∠BAC=60∘
