Let A≡(3,2)A \equiv (3, 2) and B≡(5,1)B \equiv (5, 1). ABP is an equilateral triangle constructed on the side of AB remote from the origin then the orthocentre of triangle ABP is: (a) (4−123,32−3)\left(4 - \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}, \frac{3}{2} - \sqrt{3}\right) (b) (4+123,32+3)\left(4 + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}, \frac{3}{2} + \sqrt{3}\right) (c) (4−163,32−133)\left(4 - \frac{1}{6}\sqrt{3}, \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{3}\right) (d) (4+163,32+133)\left(4 + \frac{1}{6}\sqrt{3}, \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{3}\right)
