\(\because \) OP makes 60° angle with positive direction of x-axis and OP = r = 2

\(\therefore\) Coordinates of point P are (rcos60°, rsin60°)

\(= (2 \times \frac 12, 2\times \frac {\sqrt 3}2)\)

\(= (1, \sqrt 3)\)

Similarly, OQ makes (60° + 90° = 150°) angle with +ve direction of x-axis

 \(\therefore\) Coordinates of point Q are (rcos150°, rsin150°)

\(= (2\times \frac {-\sqrt 3}2,2 \times \frac 12 )\)

\(= (-\sqrt 3,1)\)

Hence, coordinates of P are (1, √3) & coordinates of Q are (-√3, 1).
