By distance formula.
$\begin{aligned} & l(\mathrm{OA})=\sqrt{(0-6)^2+(0-0)^2}=6 \\ & l(\mathrm{OB})=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(0-8)^2}=8\end{aligned}$
∴ Point D divides AB internally in 6 : 8 i.e. 3 :4
$\therefore \quad D \equiv\left(\frac{3(0)+4(6)}{3+4}, \frac{3(8)+4(0)}{3+4}\right) \equiv\left(\frac{24}{7}, \frac{24}{7}\right)$
$\therefore \quad$ Equation of $\mathrm{OD}$ is $\frac{y-0}{\frac{24}{7}-0}=\frac{x-0}{\frac{24}{7}-0}$
∴ y = x …(i) Now, by distance formula,
$\begin{aligned} I(A B)= & =\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(0-8)^2} \\ & =\sqrt{36+64}=10\end{aligned}$
$I(A O)=\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(0-0)^2}=6$
∴ Point E divides BO internally in 10 : 6 i.e. 5:3
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{E}=\left(\frac{5(0)+3(0)}{5+3}, \frac{5(0)+3(8)}{5+3}\right)=(0,3)$
$\therefore \quad$ Equation of AE is $\frac{y-0}{3-0}=\frac{x-6}{0-6}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x-6}{-6}$
∴ -2y = x – 6 ∴ x + 2y = 6 …(ii) To find co-ordinates of incentre, we have to solve equations (i) and (ii). Substituting y = x in (ii), we get x + 2x = 6 ∴ x = 2 Substituting the value of x in (i), we get y = 2 ∴ Co-ordinates of incentre I ≡ (2, 2).
Alternate Method: Let I be the incentre. I lies in the 1st quadrant. OPIR is a square having side length r. Since OA = 6, OP = r, PA = 6 – r Since PA = AQ, AQ = 6 – r …(i) Since OB = 8, OR = r, BR = 8 – r ∴ BR = BQ ∴ BQ = 8 – r …(ii)

AB = BQ + AQ
$\begin{aligned} & =\sqrt{\mathrm{OA}^2+\mathrm{OB}^2} \\ \text { Also, } \mathrm{AB}= & =\sqrt{6^2+8^2} \\ & =\sqrt{100}=10\end{aligned}$
∴ BQ + AQ= 10
∴ (8 – r) + (6 – r) = 10
∴ 2r = 14- 10 = 4
∴ r = 2
∴ I = (2,2)
