Hint: In this question, first of all we will draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle and also draw the three medians of the triangle. To show that G is the centre of the circumcircle, we will show that G is equidistant from A, B and C.

Complete step by step solution:
Let us first make diagram:

Construction: We have drawn median AD, BE and CF.
Let G be the centroid of triangle ABC.
Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle.
AB = BC = CA. And ABC=BAC=BCA=600
And we can also say that AB2=BC2=CA2 BF =AF= BD = EC=AE.
Now, in BFCandBEC, we have:
BC= BC (Common Side)
FBC=ECB=600
BF = EC.

So, by SAS rule of congruence, we can write:
BFC BEC.
The two triangles are congruent. So, all angles and sides of one triangle are equal to corresponding angles and sides of another triangle.
Therefore , we have BE= CF. (1)
Now, in ABEandABD, we have:
AB= AB (Common Side)
BAE=ABD=600
BD = AE.

So, by SAS rule of congruence, we can write:
ABEABD
The two triangles are congruent. So, all angles and sides of one triangle are equal to corresponding angles and sides of another triangle.
Therefore , we have BE= AD. (2)
From equation 1 and 2, we get:
AD = BE = CF. (3)
Now , we know that the G( the centroid) of the triangle divides the median in a 2:3 ratio.
So, on dividing the equation 4 by 2/3, we get:
23AD=23BE=23CF.
GA = GB = GC.
So, we can say that G is equidistant from the three vertices A. B and C.
Hence, it is proved that G is centroid as well as centre of circumcircle of the equilateral triangle.

Note: In this question, you should know the definition of centroid and centre of circumcircle of a triangle. Centroid is the intersection of all the three medians of the triangle and the centre of the circumcircle is the point of intersection of all the three perpendicular bisectors drawn from the vertex to the opposite side.
