Answer

From figure,

⇒ OA = OB (Radius of same circle)

⇒ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = x (let) [In a triangle angles opposite to equal sides are equal.]

In △ AOB,

By angle sum property of triangle,

⇒ ∠OBA + ∠OAB + ∠AOB = 180°

⇒ x + x + 60° = 180°

⇒ 2x + 60° = 180°

⇒ 2x = 180° - 60°

⇒ 2x = 120°

⇒ x = 120°2\dfrac{120°}{2} = 60°

⇒ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = ∠AOB = 60°.

∴ AOB is an equilateral triangle.

∴ AB = OA = OB

∴ AB = Radius of circle.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
