Suppose $\triangle ABC$ has circumcircle $\Gamma$, circumcentre $O$ and orthocentre $H$. Parallel lines $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are drawn through the vertices $A, B, C$, respectively. Let $\alpha ', \beta ', \gamma '$ be the reflections of $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ in the sides $BC, CA, AB$, respectively. $(a)$ Show that $\alpha ', \beta ', \gamma '$ are concurrent if and only if $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are parallel to the Euler line $OH$. $(b)$ Suppose that $\alpha ', \beta ' , \gamma '$ are concurrent at the point $P$ . Show that $\Gamma$ bisects $OP$ .
