\\\mathrm{H_{3}PO_{4}\: +\: PO_{4}^{3-}\: \rightarrow \: H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}\: +\: HPO_{4}^{2-}}\\\\\mathrm{[H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}]\: =\: [HPO_{4}^{2-}]}\\\\\mathrm{The\: resultant\: solution\: will\: be\: a\: buffer\: solution.}\\\\\mathrm{\therefore pH\: =\: pK_{a_{2}}\: +\: log\left [\frac{HPO^{2-}_{4}}{H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}}\right ] }\\\mathrm{from\: above,\: pH\:=\: pK_{a_{2}}}

Therefore option (2) is correct.
