Answer

Since the triangle AOB is the right angled triangle the point which is equidistant from O, A and B is the mid-point of AB. Let that mid-point be D.

Applying mid-point formula, coordinates are,

=0+2x2,2y+02=2x2,2y2=(x,y).= \dfrac{0 + 2x}{2}, \dfrac{2y + 0}{2} \\[1em] = \dfrac{2x}{2}, \dfrac{2y}{2} \\[1em] = (x, y).

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
