As, we have to find locus of mid-point of chord and

we know perpendicular from centre bisects the chord.

So, chord joining A(r, 0) and B(0, r) subtends a right angle

at the centre (0,0). Mid point of AB is \left(\frac{r}{2}, \frac{r}{2}\right).

\therefore O C=\frac{r}{\sqrt{2}}, which is radius of locus of C.
