JEE Math Practice Question

If a circle passes through the point (a, b) and cuts the circle $${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} = {p^2}$$ orthogonally, then the equation of the locus of its centre is :

  1. A.$${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,3ax\, - \,4\,by\,\, + \,({a^2}\, + \,{b^2} - {p^2}) = 0$$
  2. B.$$2ax\, + \,\,2\,by\,\, - \,({a^2}\, - \,{b^2} + {p^2}) = 0$$
  3. C.$${x^2}\, + \,{y^2} - \,2ax\, - \,\,3\,by\,\, + \,({a^2}\, - \,{b^2} - {p^2}) = 0$$
  4. D.$$2ax\, + \,\,2\,by\,\, - \,({a^2}\, + \,{b^2} + {p^2}) = 0$$
