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

  • A

    $2ax + 2by - (a^2 + b^2 + K^2) = 0$

  • B

    $2ax + 2by - (a^2 - b^2+ K^2) = 0$

  • C

    $x^2 + y^2 - 3ax - 4by + (a^2 + b^2 - K^2) = 0$

  • D

    $x^2 + y^2 - 2ax - 3by + (a^2 - b^2 - K^2) = 0$
