Equation of $\mathrm{\mathrm{AO}\: is \: 2 \mathrm{x}+3 \mathrm{y}-1+\lambda(\mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}-1)=0 \:}$

$\mathrm{ where \: \lambda=-1}$

$\mathrm{\mathrm{AO} \perp \mathrm{BC} }$

$\mathrm{\therefore }$ line passing through origin $\mathrm{\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=0 }$

$\mathrm{-1\times \frac{a}{-b}=-1 }$

$\mathrm{ \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=-\mathrm{b} }$

Equation $\mathrm{ \mathrm{BO}\: is \: 2 \mathrm{x}+3 \mathrm{y}-1+\mu(\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{by}-1)=0 }$

$\mathrm{ \mu=-1 }$

$\mathrm{ \mathrm{BO} \perp \mathrm{AC} }$

Now equation of $\mathrm{ B O\: is \: (2-a) x+(3-b) y=0}$

$\mathrm{ \frac{-(2-a)}{3+a} \times-\frac{1}{2}=-1 \Rightarrow a=8, b=-8 }$

Hence option 3 is correct.
