Solution

The correct option is B $(- a, a (t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3} + t_{1} t_{2} t_{3}))$

$m_{A B} = \frac{1}{t_{2}}, m_{B C} = \frac{1}{t_{3}}$ and $m_{C A} = \frac{1}{t_{1}}$
$∵ A D ⊥ B C, C F ⊥ A B$ and $B E ⊥ A C$
$∴ m_{A D} = - t_{3}, m_{C F} = - t_{2}$ and $m_{B E} = - t_{1}$

Equation of $A D$ is $y - a (t_{1} + t_{2}) = - t_{3} (x - a t_{1} t_{2}) \dots (1)$
Equation of $C F$ is $y - a (t_{3} + t_{1}) = - t_{2} (x - a t_{3} t_{1}) \dots (2)$

Solving equations $(1)$ from $(2)$ , we get
$x = - a$ and $y = a (t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3} + t_{1} t_{2} t_{3})$

Hence, the point of concurrency of the altitudes is
$(- a, a (t_{1} + t_{2} + t_{3} + t_{1} t_{2} t_{3}))$ .
