Detailed Solution

Our square OABC has equal sides, and we are aware of this.
Therefore,
OA=AB=BC=OC.... (Square Sides)
Question ImageBy distance formula the length of AB can be given as,,
AB=(6-x)2+(0-6)2 
6=(6-x)2+(0-6)2 
On squaring both sides,
36=(6-x)2+36 
x=6 
So, the x-axis point can be given as A=(6,0).
Thus, option 1 is correct.
