Detailed Solution
Given 2sec4C+sin22A+sinB=0This is possible when the triangle ABC is right angled Isosceles triangle with right angle at BSince R is orthocenter, it is coincide with BSince Q is circum center it is midpoint of ABSuppose that QR=2x,AQ=2xSince the point P divides the hypotenuse in the ration 1:3Hence, PQ=xThe triangle PQR is right angled triangleHence, PR=PQ2+QR2=4x2+x2=5xTherefore, PQ:QR:RP=1:2:5hence, α2+β2=4+5=9
