Answer

Given,

C is midpoint of AB.

We know that,

In a right-angled triangle, the point equidistant from all three vertices is the midpoint of the hypotenuse.

Using midpoint formula :

M = (x1+x22,y1+y22)\Big(\dfrac{x1 + x2}{2}, \dfrac{y1 + y2}{2}\Big)

Substituting values, we get :

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

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
