Answer

Since, AO = BO = x

Squaring all the sides we get :

AB2 = (x2)2=2x2(x\sqrt{2})^2 = 2x^2

OB = x2

OA = x2

In triangle AOB,

⇒ AO2 + BO2 = x2 + x2 = 2x2 = AB2.

Thus, AOB is a right angle triangle with AB as hypotenuse.

Since, AB is hypotenuse, then ∠AOB (angle opposite to hypotenuse) = 90°

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
